there is a tree on A*****y which gives information
William Richard Harris left for Canada Sept 1911 and returned to England Nov 1919
Married 3 Jan 1920 and by 5th Jan Charlotte had filled a form applying to join her husband in Canada
They arrived in New Brunswick 10 Feb 1920 and then moved to Maryfield (where William had been living )
3 mar 1948 they were on their way back to England to stay with Harriet Harris at 194 Park Rd Warley Birmingham
later in 1948 they returned to Canada

Have you tried family search for deaths in Canada after 1948?

There is a write-up about William and Charlotte in a Mayfield local history book called "Across Border and Valley: the Story of Maryfield & Fairlight & Surrounding Districts. Volume 2". According to the entry, they had no children. Here is a link to it: http://www.rootschat.com/links/01jee/

Here is a link to Volume 1 in case you want more information about the area:

I've noticed as well that the local history book incorrectly has Charlotte's maiden surname as Lucknow, not Luckman.

By the way, the Find A Grave entry has a picture of their grave marker.
