Edith Watts
« on: Thursday 15 December 16 20:33 GMT (UK) »
Edith Bentham travelled to Canada in 1920. Soon after her arrival, she married Leonard Watts in Vancouver. A story may have been passed down through the family regarding her voyage to Canada, which would be of great interest to me. I'm searching for any post 1920 family history which might help me make sense of what small bits of information I have. Any help will be much appreciated.
                                         Many Thanks

You will notice that the informant on the death certificate for Edith Watts was sister Mary Jane Watts, 1972 Williams Street, Vancouver BC.

The informant on Leonard's death certificate was Charles Edwin Watts, 2607 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby.
