Looks good Dea.

MistyCat, thank you that was the one I saw but couldn’t see the details... And the only one with a Arthur as father that I could see

I’ve just found an Arthur and Ellen going out to Quebec from Liverpool in 1907 but they are listed as Irish! May have found that couples marriage in 1907 in Camberwell Arthur Earnest Baker and Ellen Elizabeth Day.

Ah Chris posted that

Thank you

Edit Arthurs Father is a Joseph and the occupation ties in with Arthur on the 1901 census
2nd edit :) George Leach is his brother in law, and Nelly his sister, thnak you

Cant spot a death for Ellen......

I don't know where I got this from, I thought Mrs Baker who traveled with Arthur and Dora, was his mother? so assumed Ellen died in Canada!

Didn't check further into the grave image!!
