Where is Evelyn Jane McWatters in 1911 Canada Census?

Question

Wondering if I can get some help in finding Evelyn Jane McWatters/McWaters and her family in the 1911 Canada Census? I'm assuming there has been a wrong spelling for their last name somewhere in the transcription/index, as I can't find them.

Facts I know:

- They should likely be in Lambton County, Ontario. 1921 Canada Census noted them in Sarnia, Lambton West Sub-district.

- 1921 Canada Census noted they immigrated in 1905, so they should likely be in Canada/Ontario.

- Evelyn's mother, Lillie May/Mary Smith was still living at home with her parents in the 1900 US Census and Evelyn was born in 1902 in Michigan.

Household should contain:

- John Leander McWaters/McWatters (sometime snoted as just Leander or Len - in 1921 Census he was John L), born about 1867 in Canada

- Lillie/Lily May/Mary McWaters/McWatters, born about 1879 in Michigan

- Evelyn Jane McWaters/McWatters, born 1902 in Michigan

- George McWaters/McWatters, born about 1905 in Michigan

- likely one or 2 other kids, but currently unknown how many others there may be.

Any help is appreciated!

I am really not sure what other spelling their surname may have ended up under in the 1911 Census - I have only seen it as McWaters or McWatters.

If it helps, this is the source for them in the 1921 Canada Census.

Comments

Thanks for that! It was driving me crazy not having found them in 1910/1911.

 

I guess the immigration date of 1905 must have been incorrect in the 1921 Canada Census. Hm.

 

Thanks again!
