William Henry Walls

[bagpuss]

Hello friends,

I was hoping that someone may be able to find William Henry Walls sometimes William Henry Dugdale Walls in Canada.

He was born in Liverpool in 1888 to Christopher and Louisa Walls nee Dugdale. He appears on the 1911 census there but disappears until 1926 when he arrives in the US from Canada,  He marries in 1928 in Manhattan and dies there in 1941.  On his marriage record, he is listed as a widower. I cannot find an earlier marriage record for him and wondered if he married in Canada? 

I would be ever so grateful for any help!

Many Thanks
Sue
