Do you know the province in Canada? Different provinces have different records online. Care to post some names? Perhaps we can help.

Susan Griffin born 1848 in Yatton Keynell married Enos Philips in 1873 in Tottenham. They moved to Canada 1882.

Yes i know she had William, John, Walter and Frederick as children. But the census you have popped up looks like she may have had more abroad.

[Don't let Ancestry bounce you to another of their sites]


Ancestry's Drouin Collection contains a 1908 death record for Enos Phillips, but I don't have the sub to access it.

Mount Royal Cemetery has a hit for:
