Question

Why does the sticker for migrating from England to Canada show the French flag instead of the English flag?

Comments

Flags on migration stickers are what you put there, so if you want a French flag, you would use a French flag.  If you wanted an English flag, you would use an English flag.

Yes of course.  I copied the template for France to Canada migration and changed the word France to England and still got the French flag instead of the English flag.  What did I do wrong?

I see I have to change the name of the flag file to the file that holds a copy of the England flag.  But I can't find the England flag.

I guess WikiTree wants me to use the UK flag and the country can be specified in the words.  I don't particularly like that but I can live with it.

If you want the flag of England - ie the red St George cross on white, you need image WikiTree-57.png

edited to correct spelling

The England flag is also image Flags-8.jpg

If you know the County, you can use the flag for it, if you wish. UK flag images can be found here : https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:UK_Flags

You can also designate the place born thusly : {{England Sticker|Cumberland|Carlisle}}

Hi Jack - on the "in-bound" side, I'm not sure if the ancestors you're talking about migrated after 1867 (Canadian confederation) - in which case Canada and the "Maple Leaf" flag work - or in prior periods. If it's earlier then a different destination name and flag should be considered.

My parents both migrated from England to Canada in the early 1900s.  Fortunately for me they both ended up in Vancouver.
