Isn't it amazing when we find these things? Just a few days ago, I posted about the mystery of Ida Frances Pike: I knew she had been born in Newfoundland and was in Nova Scotia by 1912, when she married my great-grandfather. Well, here is her name on a passenger list arriving in Sydney on August 25, 1910. Apparently she planned to find work as a domestic.
This means she MUST be on the 1911 Nova Scotia census, right? Somewhere...
Great find. It definitely helps give you a time frame for continued searches. She may be listed within a family if she found work as a servant. Good luck!

It was pretty thrilling. But oy - she's hiding well, wherever she is. This will have to be a page-by-page search.
