Henrietta Moore was born on 1 December 1901 in Blantyre, Scotland to James Moore and Martha Brodie. She was their eldest child. The family lived at 54 Dixon Street in Dixon's Rows, housing for miners.
Her father immigrated to Canada in February 1911. When the census was enumerated later that same year, Henrietta, her mother and siblings lived at 8 School Lane in High Blantyre and Henrietta was attending school.
On 8 August 1912 Henrietta, her mother and three younger siblings boarded the Allan Line's S/S Grampian in Glasgow, Scotland. They arrived in Quebec, Canada on 7 September 1912 and their destination was Cranbrook, Ontario, Canada, where they were to join Henrietta's father.
While in Canada, Henrietta's youngest brother, Robert, was born in 1914. Four siblings -- John, Mary, Hannah, and little Robert -- lived in a home for neglected children in Calgary, Canada in 1916; but Henrietta has not been located in that special census of Canada's western provinces.
She married Harry Scott, by 1920, as their eldest daughter was born in December. Again, I have not been able to locate this family in the 1921 census. Harry and Henrietta had two other children, according to a granddaughter's husband -- William Scott and Hazel Scott.
Harry's parents was born on 17 July 1892 in Windsor, Canada. His parents were David Scott and Margaret (Halls) King. Harry died on 30 December 1969 in Peace River, Alberta, Canada, so he and Henrietta must have divorced some time before 1947.
When Henrietta's eldest daughter crossed the border in 1944, she listed her mother as her nearest relative. Henrietta lived at 1627 12th Avenue W in Calgary and her surname was Scott. When her daughter crossed the border again in 1947, Henrietta lived at the same address but her surname was Krenelka. So she married her second husband sometime between 1944 and 1947. Nothing is known about him.
The 1953, 1957 and 1958 Canada Voters' Lists included a Henrietta Krenelka living at 2333 Hillside Avenue in Calgary. None of those voters' lists included a husband at the same address. The 1953 list noted Henrietta was a widdow.
She married Edgar "Ted" Kingston sometime before 1963 as she wass listed on the 1963 and 1965 voters' lists living at 9031 33rd Avenue in Calgary with Edgar Kingston, who was retired. I believe he died in 1969. The 1972 and 1974 voters' lists stated that Henrietta lived at the same address. No husband was listed. The 1974 list indicated she was a widow.
Another family tree has a death date of 1974, but I have found no evidence for her death at this time.
