Notes:

Notes from her granddaughter Barb Schutz:

Just to add that the copy of the certified entry of birth has her born to an Emily Price formerly Davies and George Price on July 8th 1885. She was registered as Edith Elizabeth but seem to go by Edith Lillian here. She also celebrated her birthday on September 30. Maybe she wanted to forget her past.

I have the original marriage certificate for her and Grandpa. My dad has said to me that she spoke French which could mean she landed in Quebec. I think she wanted to show him the house in Hull Quebec that she had lived in. She didn't talk much of her life and I didn't ask. I didn't see much of her except on Sundays during the winter when she came ( sometimes ) for dinner. She was terribly angry with my father for marrying my mother and Grandma didn't speak to either of my parents for 7 years. It was only after I was born that my mother took me to her house and wanted to know if Grandma would like to hold me. We would on occasion go to her home for dinner. I have no recollection of my grandfather at all. He died when I was 8 years old. Neither my father or Harry liked Grandma so neither one of them would talk about her. My mother always thought she was an orphan and had been one of the immigrant children that came over in the early 1900's. She would have had to have been at least 16 years when she came. The census of 1901 listed her as 16 and as a servant girl in Wolverhampton. Maybe her past is suppose to remain a mystery. All I know is that 9 months following her marriage in Toronto to my Grandpa she gave birth to my dad.

I have been meaning to ask you if you could see if my grandmother came to Canada with the Hart family with whom she was living with in 1901 in Wolverhampton. [Bob edit: i couldn't find any evidence of the trip, or whether they came together.] His name was Cecil Hart and his wife was Elizabeth Anne Hart. They had 5 children according to the 1901 census in Wolver Hampton. Grandma Green is listed as a general servant. I have tried to find out when she came to Canada but have had no luck. Since she was married in November 1909 in Toronto she had to have arrived sometime between 1901 and 1909. Grandma's name was Edith Lillian ( Elizabeth ) Price. Dad is not as interested in his heritage as is Harry Green but thought it might be nice if we knew something about her. "The boys" did not think very highly of their mother and I think they do her an injustice.
