but who said he didnt return to rhode island ?

[the wife]

he is in canada in 1935 on a voters list at his fathers house so i presume he went in 1925 and stayed.

thats a 10 year gap so you just cannot presume that ?

[the wife]

no thats true but he left with no money or very little 3.50 i think it said on his crossing document and after he abandons his kids i cant see a reason for him to return.i do think canada is the place to find him.

[peterd]

Did he abandon them or arrange for family to help as he couldnt look after 2 young girls as if he abandon them why turn up at his parent 10 years down the line and stop ?

[the wife]

the girls were sent to england with his sister in law the three boys were left to fend for themselves,the 1925 border crossing states he was going to see his father in stratford,he died in 1933 and his death record states he lived with his son benjamin and his wife,so i think he must have remarried between 1925 and 1933,he is also there on a voters list in 1935. kevin
