We are more familiar with Canadian War Brides of the Second World War but during WWI many British Women married Canadian Soldiers and went to Canada to start a new life. They faced many of the problems and successes that War Brides were to face some 30 years later.
The number of Canadian Soldier dependents who came to Canada from Britain during WWI was some 54,500, a significant number to say the least. Researching WWII War Brides is a little bit easier in that they were in living memory and there are more ways to find information.
Canadian War Brides WWI is the site to start any such research. There is a wealth of information and links that lead to even more.
