Register entry 246 - Mabel Mary Kitto - Hill
Mabel Mary Kitto travelled to Canada on the "SS Parisian" arriving July 16, 1887 as did Professor and Mrs. Tanner. At Winnipeg and Ottawa all three registered at the same hotels. As Mabel was only 20 years of age and her father and Professor Tanner both sat on the Council of the Church Colonization Society, it's most likely they were travelling together. The trio visited the Bell Farm Aug. 30, 1887.
In 1888 Mabel married Edwin Howard Hill of Qu'Appelle in England, and returned to live at Davenport Farm, Qu'Appelle. A daughter and son, Ruby and Laurence, were added to the family before Mabel's 1893 death in England. Edwin had relocated to Victoria, B.C. by this time, later moving to Glens Falls, New York, USA and passed away at Middlesex, England in 1927.
