Cannot find Alice in Passenger Lists to Canada

[mgeneas]

Alice Sarah Jane YORKE had arrived in Canada by 27th May 1902 when she was a witness at her sister's marriage in Montreal, but we cannot find her in passenger lists.

Three of her siblings have been found in passenger lists (the others seem to have stayed in England)
Brothers Charles and Reginald arrived together in 1903
Sister Lizzie Edith Mary arrived in 1901

But where oh where is Alice?

Hi,

When was elusive Alice born and where?

Cheers,
DB

[mgeneas]

She was born 1881 in Pimlico, London
I cannot find her in the 1901 census

Hi,

Just having a look. Sorry, another question, who were her parents.

Cheers,
DB

The parents stayed in England, they were John YORKE born East Harptree, Somerset and Mary Annie born Lechlade, Gloucs, together in 1901 and Mary Annie a widow in 1911

Have you found the couple on census to see what immigration date was mentioned ?

I think the marriage has been indexed wrongly . It's William McKay Carrie.

Here's the 1916 census :

Forgot about the immigration year which says 1911 - which is wrong !
