Title: Eleanor Jane/Joan Sim - British Columbia, Canada
Post by: Kerrynkeys on Sunday 28 September 14 04:05 BST (UK)

Hi
I am trying to find any information on Eleanor Jane/Joan Sim my fathers step sister.   

She was born in 1900 in Lancashire England,  her parents were James Sim and Eleanor Bates

I have found
- a declaration of passenger to Canada - Joan Sim was born about 1900 in Manchester, England. She arrived in Quebec City, Canada, in October 1923 at the age of 23 and also

- a marriage certificate for Eleanor Joan Sim marrying George Horace Dickinson  as follows

Eleanor Joan Sim
British Columbia Marriage Registrations, 1859-1932
birth:   1900   , England
marriage:   30 November 1927   Francois Lake, British Columbia, Canada
father:   James Sim
mother:   Eleanor Bates
spouse:   George Horace Dickinson
other:   George Edward Dickinson, Helen Utley

I also found a couple of entries to the US for her husband George Horace

Arrival Port:   Buffalo, New York,
Birth Date:   16 Jun 1899

the second time with a wife named Lillian as follows

Arrival Port:   Niagara Falls, New York,
Birth Date:   16 Jun 1899
Birthplace:   , Manchester
Birth Country:   England
Gender:   Male

finally what I would like is to find any other information like children, address, divorce another marriage for Eleanor?  (my dad only found out recently he had step siblings)

Please note Eleanor Jane Sim was seems to be changed to Joan and Dickinson was spelt Dickenson once into the USA

I realise there may be some problems with living people but assure you the information we require is  a genuine request.

Thanks so much for anyones help
