Hello again Rae,

I am afraid there is no easy way to find passengers during this period, as
there is no index of passenger arrivals.  There are quite a few microfilms
covering these years.  I would expect a Quebec arrival, as that port was
open to shipping from end-April until mid-November each year.  If they
arrived during the *winter* months, then check also Halifax and / or St.
John, NB.

The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the National Archives of Canada
[NAC], in Ottawa.  The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival.
You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL].  You can find the
details for this procedure at this NAC Genealogy Research URL
http://www.archives.ca/02/020202_e.html
You are also able to ILL free of charge, from Ottawa, to libraries in the
US, and outside
North America.  These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are
not indexed. The LDS do not currently have copies of the post-1900 Canadian
arrivals.
The NAC will allow your Library to borrow up to six microfilms on your
behalf, per request.

I see you have a Canadian email address.  Here find a list of institutions
in Canada who also have copies of this microfilm.  You may have one close by.

Canadian destined passengers also arrived via New York (and other US ports)
and I checked the Ellis Island database for these two 1912-1914, but didn't
find them.  I did find a Charles Henry Cutts aged 28, who was from 25
Wordsworth Rd. Nottingham, and destined to his uncle in Rochester in 1913.

Good luck!

Sue
