Notes - She marries Lewis BLACKALL 20/2/1909 at Danehill in Sussex (note father Hugh dies in 1906 in the Uckfield register area). He is 31, she is 21.
She appears to arrive in Liverpool from Quebec in Sept 1912, with a daughter Phyllis aged 1, but no Lewis. Fitting this with the 1921 Census, it is possible they emigrated, and then he died, and so she returned. The 1921 Census says that Phyllis, then aged 9y 10m and her twin siblings, Hugh and Joan Mary, aged 6y 7m were all born at Mount Whatley in New Brunswick
