Census wrongly says born in Montreal

There's a Quebec in Co Durham.

Normally it is the names of towns and villages in the UK that are given to foreign town and villages. But Quebec in County Durham was named after the Canadian Quebec after it was captured by the British from the French.

I have a relative who was born In Quebec bacuase her parents who were Scottish were on a ship.  She only stayed in Canada for a few months so was baptised in Scotland.  Her father was a sailor, so slightly different.  Her nationality is British, might be something similar for your relative.  Just simpler in the long run not to get into a complicated story when it was easier to just say born in England.

My late dad's boss was born in Canada. The three kids were aged 20, 16 and 14 in 1911, so they didn't stay long.
