Elsie May Osborne b.1888 London

[Chooch]

Hi everyone
Your help would be appreciated in finding Elsie May Osborne b. 1888 London but arrived in Montreal June 1905 with her mother Fanny and siblings Stafford Lennox Osborne b. 1885 and Winifred Nellie Osborne b. 1887 both born London. They arrived on the LAKE EYRIE. Their father Job was already there.
In 1911 census Job, Fanny, Winifred and a lodger Harry Higgs ( who Winifred later married) reside at 1506/11th st, Vancouver City but no sign of Stafford ( believed to be away at College) or Elsie May.
Stafford moved to Illinois and Winifred to California, parents remained in Vancouver.
So if anyone can help find Elsie May after her arrival in Montreal 1905 I would so grateful.

Chooch.

She seems to have vanished not having much luck with death record her sister named her daughter after her so wonder if she did die young

I haven't had any luck either. She has vanished into thin air. Is there any possibility that Elsie returned to England and stayed there?

Modified ..... I found a Stafford on a passenger list but now realize he gave his POB as Seattle Washington, DOB 16 May 1887, so looks like the wrong person. I have therefore deleted my comments.

Wonder if a death notice for Fanny (d. 1916) might help?

familysearch has some image-only sets to do thing will/probates.  Found this looking to see if I could find a reference to one of the parents' will/estate:

She died in Pasadena, Los Angeles Co, California, 2nd November 1912 (but some probate records left in BC as she seems to have had title to some land there).  Her husband, Isaac Wolfsdorf of San Francisco, and her parents, Job and Fannie of Vancouver, are mentioned.

If you go forward to page 1072 Isaac also states their marriage date - 19th October 1908, but unfortunately the marriage certificate which he was supposed to have submitted a copy of is not included in the surviving file.

Elsie May Osborne and Isaac Wolfsdorf were married in Whatcom County, Washington State, on 19 October 1908.
(Whatcom County is just across the US border south of Vancouver.)
