The other sister was called Anna Holland born 1867 or 1868 (aged 4 on 1871 census) so have not ruled her out as no sign of her birth on bmd.

If "Betty/Bessie" was the one on the 1861/1871 Censuses, born ca 1858, then she would have been over 80 in 1940

Yes she would have been old to be sending parcels but maybe in good health. There is a Bettie Ann Holland born in the 1940's, London on another genes member tree so have tried to make contact. Could be that Robert and Mary had earlier children not on census.

I have checked the Canadian passenger list on family search as advised on here but the only one I thought possible she is the wrong age. The lists seem to be from 1881 so maybe she went before then. However, I will check to see if her parents went to visit.
