My grandmother's elder brother George Henry Booley (born 1880 in Little Steeping, Lincolnshire, England) arrived in Canada with his new bride Betsy Boothby aboard the S.S. Lake Champlain in 1912. They were travelling on by rail to Winnepeg. I would be interested to know what happened to them.

My mistake.
There are Borley's in the 1947 Henderson's Winnipeg Directory, see attachment.

But no Booley's

Hi

I have just read your post above which I know is quite old. Betsy Boothby was my great grandmother's sister. I do have a picture of her but don't know much about her. I just wondered whether you had managed to find out much about her and her family.

Thanks
Michael Sharpe
