Need direction

[cardiff]

Hi
I am looking for an Edith Robinson born 1913 Sheffield England belive to have emigrated to Canada, sadly do not know if she married before she went. There is a possibility her sister lilian Robinson b 1907 shieffield  followed her(Lilian was infact still married her married name was LLoyd) but believe after leaving her husband and daughter in South Wales for London she reverted to her maiden name. Have looked at the ship reg but no Edith Robinson.
Any suggestions would be great
cheers cardiff

My first stop here was www.freebmd.org.uk

It gives the only Edith Robinson registered in Sheffield in 1913 was registered 1st quarter, mother's maiden name Colley.
For 1907 there are two Edith Robinsons registered in the first quarter.

Working backwards I find a likely Sheffield marriage, Emily Colley to Edward Robinson 3rd quarter 1905.

You'd need certificates to be sure, of course....

And I think you'll find the family in the 1911 census. Reporting of the details of 1911 is restricted on RootsChat, but try looking for a Edward born about 1883 and living in Eccleshall

Hi
Thank you both for your replies I don't think telling you what I know about the family on the 1911 census is a problem It would be if I was asking you for that info!.
Regarding the family I have the Colley connection  and have Lilans birth certificate.
 I was hoping to find a connection with Canada or someone who has a connection to either sister.
Lilian married then left south wales and went to work in London, we know her sister  Edith went to Canada and a letter that was sent  by Lilian in the early 1940's mentioned she may emigrate to Canada where her sister lived.
 I have looked at ship passengers but there are a few that could match but cannot be sure!

cheers cardiff
