NotesIn 1887, Maud Lark, 6, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 18 girls from Miss Alexander's party from Sutton, Surrey, England, accompanied by Mrs. Rose Wallace, matron, and en route to Miss Alexander's home at 51 Northcote Ave., Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (The girls were from Charlotte A. Alexander's Girl's Training Home at The Red Cottage, Great Warley, Brentwood, England.)

On November 1, 1899, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Maud Lark, 20, born in England to John Lark (mother's name not stated); and Ernest A. Tedder, 28, born in Ontario to John and Sarah Tedder.

Ernest A. and Maud Lark Tedder had at least two children: George Albert Tedder, born April 5, 1901, in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada; and Joseph Oscar Tedder, born May 22, 1903, in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada.

In 1904, Ernest and George Albert Tedder crossed into the United States through the port of Detroit, Michigan.

Maud stated she was a widow on the 1911 Canadian census, when she was working as a housekeeper for William Cornish. However, Ernest A. Tedder registered for the draft in the United States on September 12, 1918, showing his address as 2116 Russell Street, Detroit, Michigan, and a driver for Detroit Excelsior Works. He also claimed his son, George Albert Tedder, who was residing on Milwaukee Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, as his next of kin. The 1920 United States Census shows Ernest A. Tedder, driver, born about 1875 in Canada, married, as a lodger with Herbert and Edith Patterson in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He stated he had immigrated to the US in 1904 and was still classified as an alien.

On August 27, 1913, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Maud Tedder, 34, born in Surrey, England (she did not know her parents' names); and William Cornish, 44, farmer, born in Lambton, Ontario, Canada, to Frances Cornish and Elenor Deanlet.
