Searching for HANDFORD family - emigrated 1910/1911
« on: Thursday 08 August 13 19:53 BST (UK) »
Trying to find out what happened to Horace West Handford and his wife Emily (nee Garside).
He emigrated in 1910 to Winnipeg, Manitoba saying he intended to farm.  She emigrated the following year with their children Eric Horace Handford and Mary Doreen listed as Molly on passenger list - it says she is going to Moose Jaw, Skas. to join her husband.  She is a school teacher.
Also when Horace went in 1910 there is also a Harold Garside listed on the list next to him which could be Emily's brother.  Any further information after 1910/1911 would be appreciated or details of where to find out more.  Many thanks.

Have the name of a daughter and her husband but not sure if they are deceased, could still be living in Prince Albert Saskatchewan.  The daughter's husband was born 6 th January 1922 in Golburn, Saskatchewan. The couple have 2 daughters.
The couple were still living December 30 th 2006 when the husband (with his wife) was named  in the Obituary of a brother in the Expositor - (Dec/30/2006)

THANK YOU to everyone who has posted a reply so far - that's amazing.  Emily was my husband's great, grand aunt and I shall now be able to add all this to the family tree.  It is lovely to hear they made a new life in Canada and that they had so many grandchildren - I would love to be able to track them down!!
Thanks again for all help given so far.
Regards.   Sue
