Hi

Sorry - but I can't understand how their employment records would solve your query?

Would it not be easier to get a copy of their marriage cert and compare the date of marriage to the date of birth on your fathers birth cert?

EDIT

Edith Mary Hassall married Charles W J Culley in 1912 in Congleton but there is no marriage listed for an Edith May Hassall to a George Pearce and no birth in 1913 for a male Pearce with mothers maiden name Hassall

Births September qtr 1887 
 
Edith May Hassall    Congleton  8a 311

Thank you for your reply..

.this is not my Edith Hassall...mine born  24 May 1884 Broseley Shropshire... and was found in the 1911 census at the county Asylum Parkside in Cheshire... ( Edith Hassatt)  she was a cook/domestic working for a Dr. Sheldon head of the asylum.
 
Between  2 April 1911 and 18 December 1912 when she left England she met, possibly married, George Pearce  became pregnant and moved to Canada.
 

If I found when Edith left Parkside House the records might show why she left and where she was going. 

As mentioned earlier  I have not found a marriage entry for her and George Pearce... the only mention of George is the passenger list and my father's Canadian birth certificate. 

Any and all records of George Pearce were removed from the family files by Edith.

thanks again.

I did find my grandmother  Edith Hassell on the 1911 census Cheshire, she was a cook/domestick a Parkside House.

On 18 Sept. 1912 she and her presumed husband a George Pearce left England for Canada.  They are shown as Mr. and Mrs. George and Edith Pearce.


Sometime between the census date and Sept. 1912 they appear as a couple.
George is shown as the father on my father's Canadian birth certificate.

George them disappears from the family, and is never mention to anyone.


I have not been able to find  a marriage entry for them, nor any information on George who is shown as being born in Oxford on the birth certificate.



My question is:

Did you have to provide proof of identity and marriage to book a ships passage, and if so is it available to search?

Is  or was there a street address for Parkside House, Macclesfield?
 
One of my ancestors had mail addressed to this address in 1910, and  I hope that the 1911 census will give me further information.  In order to do an address search I need a street name and number. 

Was Parkside House an institution of some sort.

Thanks
