Marriage of Henry James Flower jnr to Selina, 1901-1921 Middlesex.

Selina arrived in Halifax NS on 20th April, just 7 days before her marriage in Ottawa.

Thanks again Christine53 and rosie99 for this. How tragic about the children. They must have just wanted to leave all that behind.

Thank you ShaunJ for that. Surely an indication that she knew Henry beforehand.

rosie99 - no I hadn't clocked that! So it looks like she had family out there already.

The image of the marriage posted by Christine shows them as Chas. Carter and Alfred Carter both of Ottawa

Thanks for this rosie99. So definitely Carter family out there. Her travelling over 900 miles in 7 days from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Ottawa  now has a double purpose: marriage to Henry and seeing her family. I wonder if Henry is working for/with the Carter family? They must have all been acquainted in London at some point.
