Nellie Pearl & Emily May Pearl

Nellie Pearl was born in Jan. 16 1895 in Manchester England and her sister Emily May born October 10 1901 in Bath England, they both ended up in Metz, Ontario southeast of Arthur they came over sometime in 1906 1907 and were adopted by Sarah and Peter McDougall, the person who sent me the info said she believes the sisters have 3 daughters between them that still live in the Arthur area

In the McDougall family (Metz, Ontario) southeast of Arthur.  2 girls associated with Bernardo were adopted.
 Here is the information I have:  Nellie Pearl born Jan 16, 1895 in Manchester, England.  She has 1 daughter living in the area who may have more information.  Believe she was 11 or 12 when adopted.
 Emily May born October 10, 1901 in Bath, England.  Has 2 daughters living in the area.
 They were both adopted by Peter and Sarah McDougall.
