The big problem with the Canadian archive is that the inbound passenger
lists aren't indexed and the ships list is so hit and miss.

It has less than 10,000 passenger lists from around the world and yet there
were over 100,000 sailing from the UK between 1890 and 1930 alone.

The best source for people leaving the UK in the outbound passenger lists at
TNA in BT27. These cover the period 1890-1960 and have now been indexed and
are online at www.findmypast.com in the migration section

Dear Scarlet Daises,

If they all died around the time of WW1 they could have died from the
Spanish Flu epidemic which happened towards the end of WW1 and later.

If she came to Canada first maybe one of the Ships Lists would find her...
or this Canadian Site.
