Opening the Closed Doors and more!!!

[millorange]

Good morning!!! Thought I would stop by and say thank you once more!!!! I spent over 2 hours last night talking with E and L - the uncle and his wife the wall busters found for me last week. All the information you gave me was 100% correct. E is the son of Ewart Gardner and his second wife so was able to fill in much more. They have been working on the history for many years and have given me a copy of all the Gardner research they have done BUT I was able to supply 2 pieces of information they didn't have thanks to you!!! There though still is a mystery to solve - - Ethel May Gardner was born Jan 1914 (Barrow on the Soar) but her mother Mary Elizabeth Fuller was in Canada then - she came to Canada in 1912 (have the manifest) and only returned to England in April 1914 (have details of manifest for Mary but not a copy). . . .so the work continues.

E, L and I are going to be working together going forward and talk regularly.

Thank you so much!!!

thats what we are checking into now - - - E has her birth certifcate but didn't know Mary was in Canada when Ethel May was born so he is going to dig it out and have a closer look at it. . . .and also see if she travelled with a baby and reigstered her when she got to England
don't families do the strangest things - make this a real challenge at times!!!

Initially Ewart (Mary's husband) was going to follow her back to England but the war intervened and he ended up in the Canadian military and Mary was stuck in Britian. She came back to Ewart in Canada in 1919 - and was there until she died in 1926.
