Edna would have died on the trip to Canada.

Crumbs this is turning out to slightly more complex than first hoped! Looking at the list of reasons for refusal, I think I'd be turned down on at least 75%!

Shame that the records were not retained, but that would have been too easy. The child dying on board adds to the confusion. Also the huge coincidence on some one with the same name returning the following Month on the same ship.

Goes without saying, really grateful for all the assistance. :)

Unfortunately I haven't the time to look at this for the next couple of weeks but I have a Henry ROBERTS who was endorsed "To Be Deported" on a manifest circa 1908/10 [I can't lay my hands on it just now] but he clearly got in as he's listed on the 1910 Census living with his sister Maud DERRETT (Nee ROBERTS) in Winnipeg.

I've always wondered why and if he was actually deported and need to research this further. He said he was 21 in 1910. That might not actually be true but that's another story.

That's really interesting, so can't be even sure they were returned.

The story went around the family years after that they went to Canada stayed a year then came back as they didn't like it. But I suppose that is the sort of thing you would say even if you had been deported!

It becomes murkier by the hour :)
