In the Marriage register of the first quarter of 1918, we see that Earl M. Chugg married  a Miss Hilton in the district of Eastbourne.  This marriage document is recorded in Volume 2b and page 219.   We can see a matching entry for Lily E Hilton in the image below.

The second to last line indicates that Lily E. Hilton married a Chugg  in Eastbourne district in the first quarter of 1918 as recorded in volume 2b page 219.  By looking at both registry pages we can definitively link Earl M. Chugg and Lily E.Hilton  as having been married in the district of Eastbourne in the first quarter of 1918.  In the next picture below we have a record of the birth of their daughter, Grace B. Chugg  born in the first quarter of 1919.

Grace was born a Chugg to the mother whose maiden last name was Hilton,  in the district of Brighton as recorded in volume 2b page 286. So we can conclude that Earl M. Chugg married Lily E Hilton in 1918 and that  they had a child named Grace B Chugg in 1919. This bit of research therefore  confirms Nellie Langs report that Earl had a daughter named Grace. Earl also  had a sister named Grace. His sister became Grace Peake and his dauughter  became Grace Craik. Graces daughter Sharon Craik became Sharon Mitchell  and lived in Carson or Carsonby as listed in Earls obituary.  His daughter Grace B. Chugg Craik was listed as living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is now more plausible to believe that Grace B Chugg was brought to Canada  after World War I. John Chuggs wife had died and he had his daughter, Earls sister, Beatrice living with him. It is reasonable to assume that John and Beatrice  raised Grace B. Chugg and that her mother Lily E. Hilton Chugg did return to England.  There is a photo of Beatrice, Grace and Sharon at the Blue Sea Lake cottage.  This photo would speak strongly to the close relationship between Beatrice and Grace B. Chugg. The photo below shows Earl moving to Cleveland Ohio by 1923.  This also would add credence top the report that his sister raised his daughter. Note: While the register names the baby as Grace B. Chugg, either this is a typographical error or Graces middle name changed to Vera. Her obituary lists Grace as Grace Vera Chugg Craik O'Brien.

Earl accompanied by his uncle, Ebenezer Rogers Chugg, crossed the border into the United States

 on April 22, 1923 as shown in the document above. Peters  (Earls)occupation was listed as a machinist.

 He was headed for Cleveland, Ohio. His residence in Ottawa was 444 Lewis Street.

 He was inspected on July 1, 1923. He is listed as remaining permanently in the United States. 

 The document is signed by Ebenezer Chugg.

There is a person and address listed in Cleveland to which Earl was attached.
