Immigration:
Anne's first arrival was in September 1912 - to Nova Scotia to join her husband Dave - working in the Springhill Mines
I'm not sure of all the details but a combination of their Daughter Nettie's (Janet) poor health and perhaps Anne's homesickness, the miners Strike in Springhill - a decision was made to return to Scotland in April 1914
Shortly after arriving back 'home' War broke out, Grampa was mining once again as well as loading the ships coming to the Firth of Forth. Conditions were not better at 'home' like Anne had remembered or hoped - Grampa was very unhappy here and couldn't wait to return to Canada. In the meantime, Grampa Dave's Sister - Jennie (Janet) had migrated to Canada - to Alberta - Garden Plains District. - married James (Jim) Easton
Eventually Anne, Dave, Nettie & Andrew returned to Canada - to Garden Plains and shortly afterwards Castor. Grampa came early in 1920 but Gramma was unable to join him until October of 1920, aboard the ship Pretoria
While Grampa Dave was enroute back to Canada, their 3rd child - Son John died of whooping cough

Obituary from Castor Advance Paper
Death came as a release from a long illness to Mrs. David Wilkie, on Saturday morning. Daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John Scott, Ann Scott (Wilkie) was born February 9, 1877*, in the parish of Tranent, County of Haddington, near Edinburgh, Scotland, and was one of nine children. She leaves to mourn her loss, her loving husband, David; one son, Andrew; three grandchildren, Allan, Richard and Heather Wilkie and two great-grandchildren Deborah and Kevin Wilkie. One daughter and a son predeceased her. She also leaves a brother and three sisters in Scotland.
In 1912 Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie moved from Scotland to Nova Scotia, returning to Scotland in 1914, where they remained until after the First World War. In the fall of 1921, they again came to Canada , settling in the Garden Plains district of AB. A few years later they came to Castor, where they have since resided.
