Find Ancestors

I have a picture of Housham Grange if you would like a copy.

Hello Sheryl and welcome to the boards.

As well as all of the above help, you can also try putting your great uncles name and birth details into the Search Trees box above to see if anyone on this site has him in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner for more details. Hope you are successful.. Cx.

You can look him up and see his attestation papers via
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-100.01-e.php


The # 136498 was assigned to MD 2 - 74th battalion.

MD2 Manning Depot / Military District or Depot Central Ontario (Toronto)

With the details provided above, you can search for an image at
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/001045-100.01-e.php

However, I think the images from Ancestry are often better.
[Also, on the LAC's images for the Victorian, he's on page 22 of 37]
I can't tell if the image says Allaston or Alliston, but I also think it ought to say Alliston.
Alliston is in Simcoe Co, abt 70km NNW of Toronto.


The next census (1921) should be released in 2014.
