In 1920, they met a Mormon (name unknown) who made Ernest a substantial offer of work, homes and prosperity in Canston, Alberta, Canada. At that time, Ernest had just inherited some property in New Zealand but Margaret did not want to go there. They decided to use the proceeds of the property to make a new start in Canada. He had to make a choice, and now with lots of money behind them, they decided to make a new start in Canada. Travelling second class, they arrived in Montreal, Quebec. However, they could not understand the language. Furthermore, Margaret had a miscarriage and had to be hospitalized. Poor Ernest was stuck looking after seven children in a new land.
They made it to Lethbridge, Alberta, and could not find their Mormon acquaintance anywhere, so they settled there.
Over the years, Ernest made some poor investments. For example, they purchased a horse farm and then could not rent out the house so most of the family ended up living there with them.
In 1932, they ran the Kings Arms Hotel in Lethbridge; the venture succeeded due to Margaret's good business sense.

Ernest died on 28 October 1937, at the age of 61. At the time he was working as a cook for the Canadian Pacific Railroad, at Spencers Bridge, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, when he went missing. The cause of death was accidental drowning.
It seems that he had gone to the toilet beside the railroad tracks. However, it was out-of-service, so he went to the river and fell in. They later found his wallet, and watch etc. in the toilet. Although Ernest did not drink excessively, it was understood that he was drunk at the time of the incident.
Margaret, his wife was distraught trying to find him. She and their daughter May rode the street cars looking for him. Anytime they saw someone who looked even a little like him Margaret would jump off the street car and grab him, thinking and hoping it was Ernest.
In 1938, native North Americans found Ernest's body hanging from a tree branch at the edge of the river, close to where he had fallen in.^2,16,11,10,5
