Derbyshire / Re: Missing marriage - Long Eaton 1918
« on: Wednesday 17 July 13 07:54 BST (UK) »
When my grandfather emigrated to Canada from Long Eaton leaving a wife and 6 small children behind he is on the ship's passenger list as single. So it seems emigration was an easy way of starting a new life with a new identity. Ancestry.com has passenger lists so worth checking there. It seems to me that they were probably not married.
