George Humphreys, born in England c. 1909?

[Davedrave]

I would aprreciate help with George Humphreys. He married Hetty Light in Toronto in 1932. According to the record, he was aged 23, and born in England. (Hetty was born in Ontario of English parentage. I have lots of info about her.)

The record states that George’s father was Alfred Humphreys, and his mother’s maiden name was Emily Owens. I can see an Emily Humphreys in 1911 in Church Stretton, who is married, and has a son George, whose age agrees. Also, suggestively, she has a son, Alfred. However, her husband was not present for the census.

I don’t know when George immigrated to Canada.

Many thanks for all your help. It would seem that both George and Hetty’s families emigrated around the same time, but Hetty was brought to England very soon afterwards, where her father died in 1920, and her mother took her back to Canada shortly afterwards.
