Oh goodness I cannot thank you enough - yes, I suspect that William went to live with his son - or in a Care Home near his son maybe - he was in his 80's by now.

I cannot believe you have all found so much information for me. I have snipped the obituary for Nellie (once I had figured out just how to get the page to stay still!)

Truly grateful to you all for your time and patience. I am sending virtual chocolates and wine! (Or fruit and fruit juice if you prefer!)

I am so very grateful to all of you.

Hi,

You're welcome. :) Yum, chocolate and wine for me, thank you,  that's so sweet of you.

There is a Canadian passenger list on the ship Montclare departing Liverpool arriving Quebec, Canada on 3 Sept. 1927. Another one that it is hard to read.

Marshall, Nellie, age 3?, b. Halifax, England going to Toronto husband Mr. Marshall,
address I can't read, relative from whence you came mother Mrs. E. Pickup, 14 Freeport Place,
Harrogate.
With Nellie is a daughter Mary, age 9, b. ?
Page 412, 2 pages scroll to the right.

Sadly, Mary Augusta Marshall died in 1939 at the Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, Ontario. She was b. 14 May 1918 England, and d. 16 Oct. 1939, of 64 Pembroke Street, Toronto, a hairdresser age 21, single, father Wm. G. Marshall, mother Nellie Pickup of 64 Pembroke Street, cause of death was chronic nephritis.

Another great find DB -- thank you very much indeed.

I can't believe all this. I thought my original query had come to a grinding halt - and suddenly this treasure trove of information has been found so quickly. You are a star.

You're welcome and thank you. :)

I haven't had much luck with William G. or his son William R.

Just of note, on the 1923 Canadian Passenger List son William was using the name Reginald. Didn't help in any way of finding him. :P

Cheers, stay safe,
DB

DB Thank You -- yes I did see the Canadian passenger list showing Reginald.

A little snippet about William Granville Marshall ---- is that when the family moved from Yorkshire to the seaside town of Morecambe in Lancashire - they had a Lodging House in Albert Road and named it Granville House.

I do wonder what William Granville's siblings thought about their parents naming the house that way. After all William Granville had been their youngest son.
