Ada Kilpatrick - Winnipeg/Canada

[Truebrit]

Thank-you doddsie4 and Sandra!  Thats her.

Great info.  Arriving from Sydney -  the mystery deepens.  Perhaps that may yield some further details of her life - like a marriage as clearly she is a widow by 1926!  I wonder if we can find her on Canadian passenger lists from her earlier visits.

Exciting stuff.  I will e:mail this initial info to my friend...

This site has census returns, the last one being 1911:

I did not find her, but I didn't look too closely.
Note:  I usually search with +/- 5 year difference in year of birth, as the years can be off.

Thanks for that.

I wonder if that is Ada Jane Kilpatrick in Medicine Hat.  She is listed as a cook........

The image states that she was born in England and immigrated in 1907.  It looks like Cook was scratched out and another word inserted, possibly Nurse.

There was an Ada Jane Kilpatrick in Saskatchewan in 1908:

The previously mentioned passenger list could be incorrect (with the 1910 arrival in Canada).  Or, this could be a different Ada Jane.  (One of my ancestors is shown as arriving in 1867, but all of his children were born prior to that year in Canada, so errors do happen.)

Sorry the previous mention of a 1900 passenger list for A Kilpatrick was for a male aged 37 years

Great info.  We are unpicking her.

We think we found her in the UK 1891 census as a nurse ans so that description fits with the 1911 scribble.

Sandra - what year are your latest details from.  Whilst there are clearly mis-spellings there are more clues - Calgary, leaving to visit relatives in 1919....

I wonder if she married in Canada?

 Reference was made to Ada visiting the UK in 1919.
The age is wrong by a mile on this next one but the occupation is interesting
