I am looking details for a George E.J. Handley, b 1872 and his wife Lilian B.M.E. (nee Rutledge)  b 1877 who emigrated from London England to Canada between 1903 and 1910.

Regards  ;D

The 1911 census is currently being indexed at various places, ie. www.automatedgenealogy.com, and is online at www.collectionscanada.ca, though without a name index (place index only).  So without a place-name you're not likely to get much luck.

Do you know where in Canada they moved to?

This site is busy indexing the 1911 census for Canada

Lots done for Ontario, some for Quebec, Manitoba and PEI

You don't say what province they came to.. so you'll have to choose from the available ones

Hi Neil
Did they have any children in England before they left?

I found one Handley family on the 1911 census in Alberta, but the handwriting is very hard to read. Even the transcriber could not make it out. It shows a man and wife, names hard to read and 3 children, two boys and a girl all born in England. One of the boys is John born 1902 and the girl is Elizabeth born 1907. This was In Alberta, District of Macleod, in Frank .

Happy hunting
