Hi Janice, I checked the "Find my Past" index using a range of 1909-1911 http://www.ancestorsonboard.com/ but didn't see anything positive leaping out to identify her I checked the 1911 Canada census without anything which fit either. As Lorine posted yesterday, in reading her Blog, the indexed ... http://www.ancestorsonboard.com/ ... Canadian passenger lists will soon be available, through Ancestry. Until then, you are able to search the original manifests online at the Library & Archives of Canada http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/index-e.html You can include the port of departure :: Glasgow :: to narrow the ships which sailed from that port, but there were many many ships :: Allan Line :: Donaldson Line, for example. The Donaldson ships mostly sailed to St. John, New Brunswick and the Allan Line, to Halifax and Quebec. I think Allan Line will be most likely as many young women from Scotland emigrated as Domestics . . . for example Reel Number Ship Name Shipping Line Special Group(s) Departure Information Arrival Information Remarks T-4768 IONIAN (A) Allan Line Steamship Co., Glasgow (D): Mrs. Radford party of Domestics & (O): Icelanders to Winnipeg (5) Glasgow, Scotland 1910-06-17 / Londonderry, Ireland 1910-06-17 Quebec, Que. 1910-06-25 Captain B.J. Eastaway Mrs. Radford brought many groups of young English and Scottish women Domestics to Canada. (If you see Mrs. Rigby party, then those girls were Irish). They are scattered through the lists, rather than on their own page(s). The passenger lists for this period are mostly in quasi-alphabetical order, although you might find names added, after the "W" names. The young women seemed to mostly travel in "Intermediate" class, although some did travel "Steerage." The top right hand side of the page(s) show which class. The Mrs. Radford passengers also have a rubber stamp, or hand written note to that effect, on their line entry. I almost hate to mention it, but she may have sailed from Liverpool, which adds a huge number of ships and lots of other groups of Domestics, like Mrs. Joyce, Mrs. Sanford, Mrs. Francis, as well as Mrs. Radford Partys. There were a lot of sailings from Glasgow, so I do think that would be your best first-choice to search.
