1916 Manitoba census - Edwin COOPER

[J.J.]

There is a 1925 entry for a Manoah Edwin COOPER on a Canadian Passenger List for the vessel Montrose.  It seems that he travelled back and forth a bit from Canada to UK as he also appears on the List for the vessel Melita in 1921.  It details his wife as being Flora COOPER Brandon Manitoba.

Perhaps someone can find that actual date again for you, as it could be either...
She may also have been in the city of Brandon & he in Whitehead, I suppose...

M Edwin Cooper, 1921 dates for Melita, arriving Saint John, New Brunswick:
21 February 1921
21 March 1921
19 April 1921
Images can be viewed.

Hopefully, someone has access to the records, as there are a lot of images to go through!

Thanks Lisa. I'd viewed the 1921 image (21 March) , but as the images only go up to 1922 I can't view the 1925 passenger list.

Hopefully someone will be able to take a look.

Hello again, David..
I MAY be able to find an obit if I look into local papers for the area...but it will happen next time I am downtown...Not a frequent visit I am afraid, and only if you think you need to see it...If he had no family, it might just be a simple death notice...so let me know, and I'll list it as a future lookup....J.J.

Hmmm...Did anyone find Flora herself on the 1916?

Hello David,

 I have not found your Edwin Cooper on the 1916 Census but I have made contact with a RM office in Manitoba and there is a article in a history book  written about the Riverside area in regards to Edwin Cooper and they will do a look up in the Margaret Cemetery for Edwin's gravesite.

Please send me a PM with your e mail address so I can send all info to you when I receive it.

Regards from Canada

Hi JJ

Thanks very much for the offer, but I honestly don't expect there's likely to be much more than a death notice, as he had no family in Canada.  So don't put yourself out to make a special trip downtown.

No, Flora seems to have well and truly disappeared. It's possible she could have come back to England, but no-one in the family knows anything about her. She may well remain a mystery.

Thanks again

David

Hi David,

I have sent you some information but it keeps bouncing back to me. Is your mailbox full?

I have sent it to the last email address that you sent me.

Hi Lilybell

No, both addresses are empty. Is the message with attachment  more than 25MB, which is the maximum on both Gmail and yahoodotfr?
