SMITH - George & Flora - Tisdale and Melfort, Saskatchewan Areas

SMITH - George & Flora - Tisdale and Melfort, Saskatchewan Areas

Classification: Query
I am searching for any information on my gr grandparents George and Flora.

George William Smith born around 1880 in England (arrived in Canada around 1890)
Flora Flora Jessie May (Nee FROOD) Cooper - (but uses SMITH) born around 1878 in England. We believe they never married, as she was already married to a Cooper.

They had two sons, both born in Saskatchewan

William Smith b. 1918 Melfort
George Smith b. 1920 Tisdale

I have found them in the 1921 Census, but can't seem to find them before then. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Lorrie

Thank you so much Stella!!!

I have quite a bit of info on Flora and Edwin, but really nothing on George and Flora before the two boys came. And nothing on George's parents/siblings.

I will look into some of your suggestions.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Lorrie
