valeriec,

Thank you for trying. Someone was able to find a Lizzie and Margaret Wright arriving in1913. They were recorded as domestics headed for Winnipeg. She must not have known my great grandfather for very long before they married. (she arrived in June and they married in August) Do you think it is possible that she came here to work for him as a domestic/nanny? His first wife died in 1912 leaving 2 small children to care for. Do you know of any way I could find out if she did come to work for him? Maybe a newspaper classified ad? I guess that would be pretty difficult to find.
Anyway, thank you for the help and suggestions. It is greatly appreciated!
