Evangeline & Evelyn travelled to Canada first, along with Louis (Lewis) Marfell. On this journey, Evangeline & Evelyn used the last name Marfell.

Canadian Passenger Lists 1865-1935:
13 July 1913
Port of Arrival: Quebec
Port of Departure: Liverpool
Vessel: Megantic

According to "Border Crossings from Canada to United States 1895-1956", they crossed into the United States in June 1915 at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Again, Evangeline & Evelyn used the last name Marfell. They list their final destination as LaSalle, Illinois.

Now, Winnipeg is a LONG distance from Quebec City, and I have no knowledge of why they were in either place. I also have no knowledge of why they were headed to LaSalle when they crossed into USA.

In the 1920 US census, Evelyn is listed as Evelyn Marfell in the home of Howard Doan in LaSalle, Illinois, as a servant, age 16. When she married Howard Isaac Gardner in June 1922, her marriage certificate has the name Evelyn Morgan.

Jim: You say Evangeline had 12 children. I only show 11, those being: Sarah Lily, Flora Maggie Gertrude (deceased 1909), William Hiley (deceased 1906), Adeline Frances O., Hilda Kate, Doris, Albert Edward Campbell, Donald Stanley, Evelyn Maude, Ivor Orlando, and Irvin Howard. Am I missing one?

Thanks!
