Just to mention. There is a lack of border crossing from Canada to the USA in that time frame.  On ancestry they start from 1895, there would be many places to cross the border and not all were recorded.

Oh my goodness Sandra. This is incredibly interesting. I had no idea that a brother Earnest followed him to USA. Thanks too for the info on border crossings being sparse.
I read Herbert was a missionary but have presumed in his case that was not in far flung or remote lands.
Herberts dad. Joseph, is my 2 x great grandfather. He was an inspector of police in Suffolk. In those days think there was only a couple of them.
Isn't it incredible how diverse careers members of the same family had.
Appreciating greatly and much admiring your diligence. Inspiring and helpful research.
