Help tracing 3 sisters in British Columbia please

[prodda]

Hi all

My grandmothers parents died in 1899/1900 in London and their 10 children became separated in the following years. I had managed to gain information on 7 of the children but the whereabouts of three of the girls remained a mystery.

I have recently come across some old family photos and it appears as though they emigrated to Canada. The youngest of the three Greta Garrett WEBB (born Dec 1890 London) married Alec Puttick (an Englishman) in Washington State in 1925 and they moved back to British Columbia until their deaths. Greta's death certificate is signed by her son in law (FERGUSON) therefore I assume Greta had children.

I have nothing on Sylvia Frederica WEBB (born 1887 London) or Davis (female) WEBB (born London early December 1890) except for a photo of Sylvia & my dad (who was in the Royal Navy) taken in Vancouver in 1943. I also have a photo of my dad in Vancouver with Aunt Beatrice in 1943 but I have no idea who she might be unless it is Davis known by another name?

I am an Ancestry UK member and can see that all 3 of the girls travelled from Liverpool to Montreal/Quebec but don't have access Ancestry.com to see the details (dates/vessels etc) so don't know if they all travelled together. Greta is in the UK 1911 census so I assume they left England shortly after that.

Any info at all would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Phil

Hi,

The witnesses on Greta`s marriage certificate are Sylvia F Edgar and a T or J? Edgar, so it looks likely that Sylvia married an Edgar.

Are you sure about the birthdate of Davis? You have her born early December 1890 - but you also have Greta born in December 1890. Do you have the official birth reg for Davis?
