As far as I know, when she was preparing to apply for a passport she couldn't find her birth certificate so tried to get another but the UK authorities couldn't find a birth record. How she established she was born in Canada I'm not sure. Would she have had to produce a birth certificate when she married in 1938?

Hi

No, there would be no birth certificate required to get married, I can't find her on the emigration records, I have found some possible records for a Vera Grace Walker, but it all depends on her fathers name on the MC

Probably not....but I'll be fine if proven wrong. :)

Your people (from past posts) seemed to do a bit of to-ing and fro-ing from UK and Canada. ???
What would be your guess as to Vera's origins,please.

There is a record for a Vera Walker b Canada age 13 ( student ) arriving Liverpool 28 November 1921 travelling on her own going to 71 , Blair Athol Road Sheffield.... just a thought

Not sure whether this helps or hinders but Vera's marriage record shows her as Vera Grace P Walker - have been told the P stands for Priest but don't know whether that is a 3rd forename or possibly a double barrelled surname. Family lore is that she came to the UK as a young girl but that her birth was registered somewhere in Canada.

Sorry - another question - Has anyone any idea at what age she may have returned to the UK ?

Hi Sandra - Vera was grandmother to my good friend Rachel, who I'm trying to help. Rachel has pooled all the info that the family have & there are no known siblings of Vera. As I mentioned, it's believed that she came over from Canada as a young girl but the circumstances are not known.
