many thanks to you for your tremendous efforts.
I agree that some info goes in the correct direction but then migrates to different confusing tangents.
Henry/Harry is commonly used but I have no reference to Henry in this instance.
the UK 1911 census, the marriage cert and the Canadian document refer to Harry.
I have Dorothy May (my wife's Great Aunt) on the 1901 and 1911 UK census and her birth and marriage certs so May 1897 and March 1915 is correct.
Harry is 21 and Dorothy 18.
the 1911 UK census shows that Harry's age as 19, the Canadian document shows Harry is 26 and Dorothy 25 (my copy of the document is microscopic so..) the date of immigration shows 1920 for Dorothy and 1904 (albeit heavily gone over) for Harry! hence if he visited previously there may be relatives involved as he would have been quite young then.
Fanny Steel is most likely as a match for the Wakefield 1911 census and the BMD name points to the Harry DOB.
the marriage cert indicates Harry is or was attached to the King's own Yorks light artillery regt. so another +.
Dorothy Nidd is a red herring as I believe is Lilian as well. so far all I have is Dorothy May born 1916
in Berkshire, Maidenhead being the family stamping ground.
the Bournemouth/Southampton connection is extremely confusing and I have disregarded this for now.
the death notice is eerie as we live in Queens Park !!!
I'll be back, as your man says.
