1924 RR1, Norwich Ontario, Cananda
(address given by Olive GRAVILL, the bridesmaid and given as home of brides father.

Information from Barrie HUNSLEY 11/1/2007
In 1909 Thomas GRAVILL first came to Canada to seek a new home for his family. He went to Whitehorse in the Yukon, but, because of the cold conditions and the poor farming in that area he returned to Sproboro, England.

His dream of returning to Canada to buy his own farm, however, did not die.

In 1914, at the age of 44, Richard Thomas GRAVILL again journeyed to Canada bringing with him this time his wife Alice GRAVILL (HUNSLEY) and his six children: Clara, William, Arthur, Olive, Alice and Thomas.

They boarded the Empress of Ireland and were eight of the463 passengers who landed in Nova Scotia. The family then travelled by train to Woodstock, Ontario. There, Thomas found temporary employment to support his large family. Eventually he rented a farm from Mr. William WARING for $1.00 a day. The GRAVILLs rented a small cottage to house their growing family. Clara, the eldest daughter, went out to work in the are to help supplement the family's income. Clara was only 15 at the time.

In 1916 Thomas purchased his own farm from Frank CLARE. This new farm was actually a house with a few acres of farmland and a barn. In 1919 Thomas purchased two more acres from Frank CLARE, This property was on the North part of the 6th Concessions, Lot 19 in the Township of Norwich, County Oxford.

Richard Thomas and his family depended on this land for both their income and livelihood. Upon his death at the age of 74 in 1944, his wife, Alice GRAVILL moved to Ingersoll, Ontario to be near some of her children. She died in 1960 at the age of 86. Both are buried in Norwich Cemetery.

One hundred years after the birth of Richard Thomas GRAVILL, the writer Brent James GRAVILLE was born (1970)

Information from John TERRY 23 September 2010
There are several HUNSLEY marriages in the Woodstock, Oxford Ontario Canada area so I would think that Alice had relations which is why they went to Canada, none of them seem to be her siblings.
