Assuming Betty was born in Winnipeg, it's worth noting that Manitoba births are closed for 100y.

It's unusual for a record to be redacted on FMP but not on Ancestry.
It's usually the other way round.

I suppose it's just possible that she has died very recently, since the 2019 ER was compiled.
The 1939 record of a neighbour of mine, who died in 2017, is already open on Ancestry - I assume also on FMP.

Maddie,
The child has been redacted on the FMP version but is still showing on the Ancestry one.
Based on the info supplied by ArgyllGran, this girl is not deceased and should not be visible on either

Betty J Anderson married Mr Dring in Wandsworth in 1950.

Was on ER for Bury St Edmunds in 2003-10.

A search at

I searched Ancestry for Anderson arriving 8/8/1919 on Scandinavian

etc.

Maybe someone can check out the images - I expect they are listed seperately - Alex with the troops, and Lillian with the regular passengers.
(As Alex's dependent, Lillian's trip would be paid for by the Dominion gov't.)

? There might not be a record for him going back to Canada if it was a troopship transport and ? the same for War Brides

You say "strike it off my tree".

Which man is definitely on your tree - the Linlithgow one or the Canadian?

So it looks like the Alexander Anderson who travelled to Canada in 1919 is not your Alexander Liddle Anderson - especially as it seems he was born in Canada, not Linlithgow..

Got the birth certificate for Auterdige Lillian Anderson but it has father Alexander Anderson a steel furnaceman mother EmilyLillian Anderson Ms Toger (that's what it looks like) So it would appear she something doesn't fit?

The 1919 travel record posted above by mgnv gives the following details:

The whole page is headed "Returning Canadians".

Alexander Anderson, 31, married, born in Canada.
Destination: c/o GPO, Montreal.
106 [406 ?] Gordon Avenue. [I'm not sure if that's the GPO address or not - I guess it is.]

Lillian Anderson, 23, married,.
Country of [birth ?]: England.
Same destination as Alexander.

Aubridge L, 1, female, single, Scotland.
Same address.


This will be the birth of that child:

ANDERSON
AUTERDIGE LILLI
F
1918
644/21 291
Govan


The column headings are very blurred on the 1919 travel record, and I can't really make them out.
One column has the answer "yes" for Alexander, "no" for Lillian, and is blank for the child. [EDIT: "Have you ever been in Canada before?"]

One column has "yes" for all three. [EDIT: "Do you (something - probably "intend") to permanently (something - probably "reside") in Canada? ]

Two more columns have "yes" for the parents and "no" for the child. [ EDIT: from previous pages I see that those columns are for "Can you read" or "write".]
