Thanks for all this information :) It is such a lot in a short time.
UK Return passenger list showed Ellen with the 2 boys - Ellen Jane Whale aged 30 years, Horace aged 9 years and Stanley aged 5 years. Arriving Southampton 8 December 1921 - on the Corsican  - Going to Treswithian Downs Cornwall. Intended furture residence England.
Sandra
Treswithian Downs is where he father was living.
Why did she put that intended residence was England if she continued to live in Canada?
Ellen's brother died in Cornwall in July 1923.

I wonder who he was 'abusive' to.
By the way Sandra, the cake was delicious. I may take another if you don't mind.

Hi,


"Why did she put that intended residence was England if she continued to live in Canada?"

On the section where "intended residence" is, the lines are very narrow, and it would be
possible to mark the wrong section quite easily, or just a change of heart.

I wonder who he was 'abusive' to.

It would have been to the USA Customs and Border Control person as it was written by them
on his card. 

Cheers,
DB

Thanks for the Canada link.
The 1911 census says that she immigrated in 1906 and the 1921 says 1906.
If she emigrated for Cornwall to Canada in 1906 she wouldn't have been married and would have been a Banfield. Ellen married Charles January 1910 in the Redruth District Cornwall.UK.
I presume that is was an error on her part.

Wimbledon has Eugenie Bouchard beating Britain’s Jo Konta.
