I am trying to establish when my Grandparents went to and returned from Canada.My Grandfather William Richard Wildin went in about 1911 and my Grandmother Kate Wildin with her 2 daughters followed in about 1912.Grandmother returned with her daughters in about 1913/14. I know that she came into Liverpool.Grandfather returned later, date unknown.Can anyone help me to find more information e.g.which ships and exact dates.Their final destination was Saskatchewan.

Hi,
I have found my Long family arrived in Saskatchewen in 1908
I wonder if there is a connection with the families?
Apparently also a relative is Percy Knolwles and his wife Francis.
The area they settled in was Battleford.
Just seems strange the same area of the Forest and the same area of Canada?

There is some evidence of "recruiting agents" based in Cinderford in the 1901 census, so my guess is that an Agent went to an area to gather a batch of families to work in Coal mine/ Quarry project in the States / Canada. Rather than independent family units deciding to emigrate and finding themselves on the same boat as other families from the same or next Forest village.
I'm sure it would make the "search for a better life" more acceptable if you knew a local group were going - family , friends etc...
Example advert in 1887 :-
" Assisted passages to America by the Allen Line for £3 - For further
particulars apply J Horwood, New Zealand and American Agency Office
Cinderford."
In the 1891 and 1901 Census John Horwood is a Grocer /Dealer in Commercial St
Cinderford.
