I can't find a Delsall anywhere. Closest was a Delsell who enlisted in Canada in 1918 but he was from Detroit, Michigan and was born in Antwerp, Belgium.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I've found Susannah on the early censuses but can't find her marriage.
Will have a look on the Canada 1881 census....no...nothing


Could the name be spelt another way?
Joan

PS well spotted Margaret!
