I am posting the information I have on Elizabeth Canvin in the event it is helpful to anyone. Elizabeth married Herbert Venable Ivins - a brother of my great-grandfather, William Ivins.
On 16 June 1924 Elizabeth applied for a US passport.
In the application she states she married Herbert V. Ivins in Chicago, IL on 26 Oct 1886 and that he died 14 Oct 1897. She also states he was born in Bloomington, IL She stated at the time of the application she was living at St. Paul, MN. The purpose of her trip was to travel to England, Scotland and France to "travel and visit relatives." She planned to depart from New York on 5 July 1924 on the ship Leviathan.
Mrs. Elizabeth C. Ivins is shown as having returned to New York on the Leviathan on 12 August 1924 from Southampton. Her address was shown as 1823 Fairmount Avenue, St Paul, MN
Here is what I have pieced together about her and her family from US census records:
1900 census, 12th ward, Chicago, IL:
Lizzie Ivins, head, born Feb 1866 England, parents born England
Maude Ivins, daughter, born Dec 1888 Illinois, father born Illinois, mother born England
Myrtle Ivins, daughter, born July 1893 Illinois, father born Illinois, mother born England
Herberta Ivins, daughter, born April 1898 Illinois, father born Illinois, mother born England
George Ivins, brother-in-law, born Sept 1858 Illinois, father born Illinois mother born Kentucky, fruit dealer
Henry Ivins, brother-in-law, born May 1876 Illinois, father born Illinois mother born Kentucky, teamster
Mamie Ivins, sister-in-law, born May 1879 Illinois, father born Illinois mother born Kentucky, operator telephone
1910 Census, Buffalo, Erie County, NY
Elizabeth Ivins, age 46, widow, b. England, immigrated 1870
Myrtle Ivins, age 16, b. IL
Herberta V. Ivins, age 12, b. IL
1920 census, Ithaca, Ward 4, Tompkins County, NY
Elizabeth Ivins, age 56, widow, b. England, immigrated 1870
Herberta I. Ivins, age 21, b. IL
(Ancestry.com indexed Herberta's middle initial as "I." May actually be "V.").
1930 census, Tonawanda, Erie County, NY
George J. Baer, age 39, b. NY, carpenter
Myrtle Baer, age 36, b. IL
Harvey Baer, age 13, b. NY
Dorothy Baer, age 9, b. NY
Carlton Baer, age 7, b. NY
James Baer, age 6/12, b. NY
Elizabeth Ivins, age 66, b. England, mother-in-law
Herberta Ivins, age 31, b. IL sister-in-law, bookkeeper at chain store
(note: Ivins is indexed as Ivans by Ancestry.com in 1930 census).
Using both US and English census records I have found the following on what I believe is her family:
1851 England Census, Passenham Parish, Northamptonshire
Thomas Canvin, age 36, butcher, born North Wicken
Mary Ann Canvin, age 35, wife, b. North Wicken
Sarah Ann Canvin, age 13, daughter, scholar, b. North Wicken
George Canvin, age 11, son, b. Deanshanger
John Canvin, age 9, son, b. Deanshanger
Emma Canvin, age 6, daughter, b. Deanshanger
Thomas Canvin, age 2, son, b. Deanshanger
Lucy Canvin, age 2, daughter, b. Deanshanger
1861 England Census, Passenham Parish, Northamptonshire
George Canvin, head, age 21, butcher, born North Maston, Buckinghamshire, England
Sarah A. Canvin, wife, age 21, born Denshanger, Northamptonshire, England
John Canvin, age 2, born Denshanger, Northamptonshire, England
Sarah S. Canvin, age 2, born Denshanger, Northamptonshire, England
1870 US Census, Lyons, Cook County, Illinois
Canvin
George, age 30 b. England, laborer
Sarah, age 30 b. England
John, age 10 b. England
Sarah A., age 8 b. England
Lizzie, age 7 b. England
Emma, age 4 b. England
Jane, age 2 b. England
Mary, age 3/12 b. IL
A George Canvin died in Cook County, IL on July 22, 1893, age 40. This may have been her father.
Best regards
Paul
