Annie Adelaide Sillett
« on: Saturday 03 October 20 19:54 BST (UK) »
Hi

I'm looking for help with Annie Adelaide Sillett (baptised 22/04/1888 Whitton daughter of Frederick William Sillett and Harriet (nee Finbow)

She appears to have emigrated to Canada in 1914  a year after her sister Emma, but then I get stuck

I think she married a George Topham in 1922 in Edmonton, but there appears to be others with the same name and I'm not sure where george originates from.

I think she may have returned to England in 1925, but family stories say she returned to Canada and possibly died 1966.

She may have had a son, but I can find no records in Canada for her, a son or her husband. I also cannot locate a death for her

All help would be really appreciated

Just putting this death, no actual image, do not understand why in maiden name, and no age, so probably not her?
