Immigration

Ada arrived in Canada on 11 Aug 1910 at Montreal, Quebec aboard the Victorian from Liverpool, England. Her stated destination was Peterboro, Ontario. She was accompanied by her six month old daughter Edith, husband James having arrived in Canada earlier.

In 1912, Ada and Edith returned to England, arriving in Liverpool aboard the Empress of Britain on 13 Apr 1912 from Halifax. They returned to Canada via Quebec on 20 Sep 1912 aboard the Virginian. This time they were accompanied by Ada's younger brother, Arthur Read. Their stated destination was Winnipeg, Manitoba.

On 24 May 1923, Ada, husband James and daughters Edith and Edna emigrated from Canada to the United States, having been pre-examined on 15 May 1923. At this time their nearest relative in Canada was stated to be Arthur Read, and the destination as Los Angeles, California.

Ada and James petitioned for naturalization at the Southern District, Central Division, Los Angeles, California, District Court on 7 Dec 1925. Although no evidence has been found that the petition was granted they are recorded as naturalized citizens in the 1920 census.
