Thanks, Slowhands.

But why would they emigrate and leave William Isaac behind? That didn't make sense to me. (At least not from the perspective of a 21st century Mum.) But trying to follow deaths for Mary Thomas in the Merthyr Tydfil area was a fairly thankless task. There were several possibilities, but I don't want to send my entire paycheck to the GRO . . . Another possibility is that something happened to Mary, but it made more sense to leave Wm Isaac with her Mum that have him be that little and be with his Dad . . .

That said, Elizabeth (LEWIS) and Alec CADOGAN are missing from the 1911 census, and their daugther Katy is with her grandmother visiting at Box Tree Cottage . . . I know Katy was with Aunt Bess when they emigrated to Canada, but there was a lot of toing and froing so it'a a possibility.

Thanks again for looking into the tangle for me.
