Maggie Leslie Nunnerley née Plumb b. 13 Mar 1893 Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk
Maggie Leslie was a child of Thomas Plumb and his wife Alice Walters née Inkson, so a descendent of the 1801 Inkson - Harborow marriage through William and then Thomas Harborow Inkson. Unlike her siblings, born in London, she was born in Norfolk near her parents' family homes and it looks as if the family were actually living there at the time. There is a baptism record for her which gives her date of birth.
It seems that Maggie Leslie had a child out of wedlock in 1920 when she was about 27 years old. She called her Stella Margaret Plumb. Very shortly thereafter Maggie Leslie went to Canada to visit her oldest sister Elsie Mary and family in Virden, Manitoba. The baby must have stayed with her grandparents in London. Maggie Leslie stayed in Canada for at least three years, returning to London in September 1924 to collect Stella Margaret. They went back to Canada the following January in the company of an English Canadian couple from Virden called Yewdall. This is where it gets complicated : the Canadian arriving passenger list describe John Yewdall as Maggie Leslie's brother-in-law / Stella Margaret's uncle but also Maggie Leslie's employer. How could the family relationship be true? John's wife was Mary Jane Jarman.
Family history notes that John and Mary Jane went on to adopt Stella Margaret.
Maggie Leslie went on to marry George Nunnerley in Brandon, Manitoba [some 70km east of Virden] on 2 Aug 1933. She would have been 40 years old and George 46. They had one child. It is interesting to note that George was from Whitchurch in Shropshire and is described in the online documentation as a creamery manager and Herbert Conway Joyce, the husband of Maggie Leslie's oldest sister - Elsie Mary - was a butter maker from Whitchurch in Shropshire.
