Hi everybody thank you for your replies,I am looking for a person (great uncle) who went to Canada in 1899 after getting married in Wales, to work for Capt.Scott. name of Llewellyn Roberts.
No mention of Canada on Wiki. for 1899
Promotion, and the extra income this would bring, now became a matter of considerable concern to Scott.[17] In the Royal Navy however, opportunities for career advancement were both limited and keenly sought after by ambitious officers. Early in June 1899, while home on leave, he had a chance encounter in a London street with Clements Markham, who was now knighted and President of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and learned for the first time of an impending Antarctic expedition with Discovery, under the auspices of the RGS. It was the opportunity for early command and a chance to distinguish himself, rather than any predilection for polar exploration which motivated Scott, according to Crane.[18] What passed between them on this occasion is not recorded, but a few days later, on 11 June, Scott appeared at the Markham residence and volunteered to lead the expedition.[3]
