On November 24, 1904, at St. Catherines, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Laura Elizabeth Chandler, 18, born in England, and who came from a home and never saw either parent; and James Felix Grove, 27, carpenter, born in England to John Grove and Nettie Robins. (may have been home child James Groves, 17, who arrived in 1895 on the Parisian with another boy from Tiffield Reformatory, near Towcester, Northamptonshire, England.)

In 1911, Laura E. Groves, 26, was shown residing at Grantham, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada, along with her husband, James F. Groves, labourer; and children: Elsie M. Groves, 8; Morris H.
