This doesnt' make sense, how come he is listed in 1908/9 directory, yet children born early 1900s in Manitoba??????
Can't find the emigration assumin git was after 1890 as the marriage took place in Swansea!

This family appears to have changed its name from Powe to Dunston (wife's maiden name) - not sure why

Okay, so 1in 1915, definitely in Manitoba under the name Dunston
Children clearling identified as #1) born in Manitoba 1904, #2 born Wales and #born Manitoba. So they must have come, and then left then come back
In 1908 Charles brings Arthur back from the UK. it's quite puzzling ⁵
