Hoping to find Annie Maria Relf, who was born in Burwash, Sussex on 27 May 1885 (birthdate from baptismal record), the daughter of William James Relf and Hannah Potten. The Relfs had a large family and moved around a bit, by 1911 William was in Eltham, London and Hannah declares she has 12 children, 12 living. In 1921 she is in an institution in Brentwood, Essex.
I have had trouble tracking Annie but think she might be the Annie M. Relf who married Albert Wicks in Reading district in Jun 1914. They are likely the couple who arrived at Philadelphia, USA, 23 Apr 1914.
The age is a good match for Annie. They were heading for Winnipeg, Manitoba and appear there on the 1916 Manitoba census and the 1921 Canadian census. In 1916 Annie is listed as Annie Maria. Albert is a carpenter, as he was on the passenger list in 1914. They were going to an uncle, J. Richards, Winnipeg, on the passenger list. I do not know who he is.
Annie gives her birthplace as Sevenoaks, Kent on the passenger list (Albert's is Reading). This is the only blaring discrepancy that I can find but there is no Annie M. Relf on FreeBMD for that time period born in Sevenoaks.
Find My Grave has Albert's death as 8 Dec 1947, and his is buried in Winnipeg. A very good candidate for Annie arrives in England (Liverpool) in 1948, going to 33 Kennett St., Reading. Her age matches.
I believe it is possible Albert arrived in Canada well before Annie did, and that he returned to England at some point, perhaps meeting her there, and decided then to return to Canada.
If anyone has any connection to these folks or can identify Annie more precisely, I would be very grateful.
