Misc. Notes
In November of 1908, Thomas crossed into the United States from Vancouver, to visit a friend in Seattle, Washington. He appears to have been traveling with another carpenter named Sydney J. RUFFEL, son of Henry RUFFEL. The record does not state the name of the entry city on the U.S. side of the border. This record also describes his original arrival in Canada at Montreal, and although the image is difficult to read in this area, it does appear to say he arrived in September of 1906, which is consistent with the passenger list found. [3599], [3600]
Research
BMD index lists three persons named Thomas DAVIS born in the Tynemouth registration district (which includes Blyth) from 1883-1886. [462]
Unable to locate death record at BC Archives; perhaps he died outside of British Columbia.

Misc. Notes
Ethel arrived in Quebec, Canada, for the first time on 20 Jul 1911, having sailed from Liverpool, England aboard the S.S. Empress of Ireland. On the passenger list, officials stamped her entry as “TO BE MARRIED” to “T DAVIS.” And her destination was Vancouver, British Columbia, to be reached via Canadian Pacific Railway. [3598] On this passenger manifest it is difficult to decipher her middle name; Ancestry.com transcribed it as “Lenize” but on close inspection I believe the first written letter is an “S” and that, based on other sources, it probably says “Sanson” though clearly other interpretations are possible.
In 1920, Ethel, along with her children, Jane and Earl, traveled to England, most likely to visit her parents. They departed from Quebec, on 06-OCT-1920 [3587], aboard the S.S. Empress of France, arriving at Liverpool, England, on 13-OCT-1920, stating their intended European address as 44 Park Rd, Blyth by Sea, Sunderland (Blyth, Northumberland). [3589] The return voyage is documented by the passenger manifest of the S.S. Victorian, which departed from Liverpool, England, on 06-MAY-1921, and arrived in Quebec, Canada, on 16-MAY-1921. Their reported destination was Nanoose Bay, British Columbia. [3586] Corresponding “Passenger Declaration” forms also document their return, but are strangely signed with a date of 07-MAR-1921. Perhaps these were filled out in advance of the trip home. [3585], [3588] It is not known how they traveled between Quebec and Nanoose Bay, but likely traveled by train for at least part of the journey.
