This is only a side shoot to my tree ( his brother Samuel Winters EKINS is 2x GT Grandfather to my wife.) but I would love to Know
1. When he arrived in Canada?
2. Did he marry or have any family?
3. What was his occupation?
4. Are their any relatives looking into this Family Tree?
Hope some kind person can point me in the right direction. Regards Mike.

There is an Edward George Ekins on this website:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0sbl/
Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid
Someone with the same reference number as Mr. Ekins is Annie Maria Ekins.

Perhaps this is your fellow?

On the 1881 Canterbury, Kent Co, England census:
Annie Maria Ekins, born 1850, Canterbury
Edward Geo. Ekins, born 1846, Somersham, Hampshire, England

So, perhaps this isn't your couple (mentioned in the above cemetery)?

I cannot view further details, but on the Canadian passenger list is
Mrs. A. M. Ekins, born c1852, arrived 1900, sailed from Liverpool and arrived Montreal, Canada.
E. Z.  Ekins, born c1846, arrived 1900, sailed from Liverpool and arrived Montreal, Canada.
Hopefully, someone else will be able to view the full details.  I cannot tell if they sailed on the same ship.

Annie possibly passed away in 1910, Carleton, Ontario.

I see there was a Samuel Winters Ekins (born c1844) living in Somersham in 1881, so perhaps the above couple is the correct couple???
