"an interestin aspec is that the Bookers and Mary are apparently travelling on the same "Contract Ticket Number" 28288, so was there some connection between the two families?"
You shouldn't encourage me Alex! On a showery afternoon when I can't play pétanque what else is there to do than to rise to your challenge!

If you can read it all you're a better man than I am Gunga Din! Fortunately Ancestry.com comes to the rescue again, as it's transcription shows them as Thomas and Emma Jane Booker, But unfortunately it doesn't show the third member of the party, which looks like Tho. Ed.. aged 11. Thomas senior's occupation is café manager and their destination is Edmonton Alberta. I don't believe in coincidences.
1911 census Hull Yorks
Thomas Booker head marr 50 Manager cocoa rooms b Sevenoaks Kent
Emma Jean Booker wife 43 married 26 yrs, 3 children 2 living b Lincs Winenton (no such parish - might it be Winterton, which just happens to be a mile from Coleby?)
Thomas Edgar Booker son 11 b Gillingham Kent
www.freebmd.org.uk has a marriage in Hull reg district in the March quarter 1885 where two of the parties on the page are Thomas Booker and Emma Jane RIPLEY
1881 census Scunthorpe, Lincs
William Ripley head marr 44 Iron miner b Scunthorpe
Harriet Ripley wife 41 b Appleby Lincs
Emma J Ripley dau 13 b Winterton
Mary Ripley dau 8 b Winterton
1871 census Winterton Lincs
William Ripley head marr 33 ag lab b Coleby
Harriett Ripley wife 32 b Appleby
Selina Ripley dau 10 b Coleby
Harry Ripley son 8 b Coleby
Hannah Ripley dau 6 b Burton Lincs
Martha Ripley dau 5 b Coley
Emma J Ripley dau 2 b Winterton
And that, I think, should kill off any doubts about Harry. In 1913 his sister Emma Booker née Ripley and family was going to Edmonton Alberta, along with Harry's common law wife Mary (Marples) and their daughters. It should also put paid to the family story that Harry was the illegitimate son of Edward, later King Edward VIII. Jackie's post #152115 above is pertinent.
The sun is now shining after the shower and I'm going to do half an hour's work in the garden!
