Family 2 Galloway Notes - Galloway is listed only because of the reference of daughter Lenore with the last name Galloway in the 1921 Census records. At that time, Eunice and her daughter Lenore were residing in Winnipeg, the city Lenore was born in. Lenore was married (apparently at 14 years and 10 months of age) and the Marriage Certificate cites Herbert "Nick" Driver as her father in 1935.
It is anticipated that Eunice and Herbert "separated" on or about March 1918 when Herbert changed the recipient of assigned pay to his mother (Jane Driver) and guardianship for the children.
Herbert returned to Canada from WWI injured for furlough. While in furlough, Herbert tested positive for Gonorrhea. No divorce record exists and no marriage certificate exists as between Herbert and Gladys Killner).
Herbert had returned to Canada in March 1919. Lenore was conceived in the summer of 1919. At that time, Herbert was awaiting the arrival of his partner (Gladys Killner) from England who arrived in Canada in October 1919. It is assumed that Herbert and Eunice reconnected for a period of time in the summer of 1919.
Given that Lenore assumed Herbert's name and listed him as her father on her wedding certificate - and hearing from family that Lenore frequently called her biological siblings. We assume that "Galloway" was not the father or husband to Stevens.

Photos Herbert Driver - Family Photo - 1915

William, the youngest, was born in January 1915 and Herbert relocated to Camp Sewell in Manitoba on July 1, 2015 before travelling to England during the war in November.
Documents 
Wedding Certificate - Lenore Driver
Two points of interest in this document:
1) Lenore's age being 17. On the date of the marriage, January 18, 1935, Lenore was shy of her 15th birthday. Her age accords with the Census record of 1921 with her mother Eunice in Winnipeg, Manitoba as being 1 year old in 1920.
2) The name of her father Herbert Thomas Driver. Herbert had 3 children with Eunice before WWI. While in England, he met Gladys Killner. Herbert returned to Canada from the war in February/March 1919 and Gladys followed in October 1919. The two moved to British Columbia/Alberta with Herbert's three eldest kids from his marriage with Eunice and he and Gladys had three more. Lenore's conception date is the summer of 1919 which means, I say, the documents demonstrate he reconnected with his ex-wife while waiting for Gladys to move from England. Lenore's last name in the Census records are Galloway and I have been unable to find any records of her father being the purported Galloway.
Herbert Driver - Assigned Pay 2 (AP2)
The record is notable because it started December 31, 1917 and it makes the following references:
* a notation dated March 26, 1918 is written above the words that appear to read “authy S.B.” where to the left the words Eunice Driver and the word wife are scratched off and replaced by Mrs. Jane Driver and it is noted below her name as the Children’s Guardian. The address for Eunice is noted as 528 Avenue K North, Saskatoon, SK. The date of March 26, 1918 is interesting because it is 2 days before Herbert attends for treatment for gonnorhea while in Saskatoon on furlogh.
* the words Mrs. Eunice Driver amd wife are struck out and replaced under the words “Change of Address” to include Jane Driver and a notation dated June 8, 1918 includes Jane Driver’s address of 528 Avenue K North, Saskatoon, SK.
* the body of the message includes a notation for April that reads “Cancelled per change in assignee”.Herbert Driver - Assigned Pay (AP1)
Notation dated December 1, 1915 changes address from Coy Avenue address to 528 Avenue G South for Eunice Driver (wife).Herbert Driver - Attestation Papers (Att.)
Attended Sewell, Manitoba and received regimental number 114564. He was placed in the C.M.R. 9th Regiment which was broken up in England ad used to form, predominantly the 1st and 5th Regiments of the C.M.R. Herbert, ultimately did not join another C.M.R. regiment. It is likely he traveled to Sewell with George Dransfield, also from Nutana in Saskatoon who registered immediately before him in line.
Attests to his ability and willingness to be a member of expedition force at 31 years ad 3 month of age. Notes he resided at 703 Seventh Street, Nutana, Saskatoon and previously was employed as a steam engineer.
Marriage Certificate - Herbert "Nick" Driver
Married in Toronto in the county of York.
On October 30, 1909, Herbert Thomas Driver, a mechanic, aged 25 from Radisson, Saskatchewan marries Eunice Margaret Robinson, a widow aged 22, from Toronto. Eunice's father, William Stevens indicates that she was a Robinson.
Census 
Census - Manitoba - 1921 - Eunice Driver
Residence at 587 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Eunice Driver - 33
Lenore Galloway - 1
I am unable to reconcile Lenore's last name as Galloway. Her marriage certificate in her first marriage states that her father is Herbert "Nick" Driver. Herbert's military records demonstrate that he returned to Canada in March, 1919 from the war. In October, 1919, his second partner (and potentially wife but there is a dispute in the family as to whether they legitimately were married) arrived in Canada from England. Given her birth-date, and the marriage certificate, I hypothesize that Herbert re-connected with his first partner (Eunice) and conceived Lenore. It appears on Gladys' arrival that Eunice and her youngest traveled east to Oshawa and her three eldest went west to British Columbia with their father (and step-mother).
