Mary Jane Nelles 1893-1981 (completed)
« on: Sunday 30 October 11 11:57 GMT (UK) »
I have Mary Jane on a passenger list 1930 travelling from Canada to England visiting relatives in  Evesham road Leicester. The relatives could be named: Mills,Green or Johnson. Mary Janes maiden name was Mills prior to emigrating to Ontario Canada with her family in about 1912. Any help with this would be most welcomed.

I forgot to look at the arrival.

William H Mills (48) arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 17th March 1913, on the "Grampian" with family Mary (49), Mary Jane (20) and Margaret (11).
There is a note "British Bonus Allowed"
Destination- Paris, Ontario.

Margaret married Alexander George Walker, 30, born in London, on 29th August 1923 in Paris, Brant, Ontario.
George's parents - George walker and Bessie Rooney.

I thank you both for your input, a lot of useful info. I have since found that Mary Jane was visiting her fathers brother and family at Evesham road Leic. Yes Mary Jane made many visits to England since her emigration in 1913. Usually on her own, possibly a bit home sick! On each visit she would travel extensively visiting relatives. Thank you again.
