Edith Florence Greathead née Anderson
     Edith Florence Anderson was born on 9 May 1900 in Mile End, London, England.1,3 She was the daughter of John Anderson and Daisy Florence Brown.2 Reuben and Edith were two of the "home children" and were sent to Canada by Bernardo Homes. They went on the ship Dominion leaving Liverpool on 24 May 1906. They arrived in Quebec on 3 June 1906. They met on the ship and worked on the same farm and later married.1,4,5,6 She married Reuben Francis Greathead, son of Samuel F Greathead and Elizabeth Hyde, on 8 April 1921 in Brant, Ontario, Canada, Interestingly, Reuben stated the incorrect name of his father on his marriage certificate he said George, he also stated he thought his mother was called Julia but did not know her maiden name. I guess leaving England aged six was difficult for him to remember family names. Both George and Julia were names of his siblings. He was described as a labourer and Edith as a maid on their marriage certificate. The methodist ceremony was witnessed by Jane Schofield of 29 Terrace Hill Street, Brantford and Eleanor Smythe of 23 Terrace Hill Street, Brantford.1,7 She died on 18 January 1978 in Canada aged 77.1
