Not sure if it's the one your looking a though?

Thank you again BatMansDaughter..My friend is going to be thrilled with all this information.. :-)

Hard to read the original but here goes:
Charles Kelso
Arrived Sep. 28, 1938, White tail, Montana.
Born 7/23/08, Inglis, Manitoba.
Occupation butcher.
Accompanied by Wm. Long & son.
Last permanent residence Buffalo Gap, Saskatchewan.
Nearest relative wife Florence
Going to Scoby, Montana for business.

BatMansDaughter. I;m pretty sure the family with Permilla as wife is not connected to my friends family. We know Charles Kelso married a Florence Henry, they married in Montana in 1828. Charles Kelso was a butcher or meat cutter.

Thank you for your help.
Kazz

Thank you Margee. That is definately them...My friend is going to be sooooo excited when she learns all this...

Regards

Yes Margee he was born in Manitoba and Theresa Daum was his mother.. I've been giving the vitalstats website quite a workout for the past few days, I've found quite a bit of information there for my friend..
I've also looked at the 1911 canadian census, however neither Charles or his parents are on there.

Is there anything else we can help with?

Thank you again BatMansDaughter. Can I ask where you found the information before your 1911 census post?

I use Ancestry.co.uk. I have full membership and found it on there. If you don't subscribe you could take out a 14 day free trial. They want your card details but if you cancel before the 14 days are up it will cost you nothing.

I have use ancestry uk as well, but its not the world wide subscription...I might try and go for the whole thing when it comes up for renewal.

Thanks again for your help Dee :-)

There's a lovely long obituary here for Florence:

I think I better call it a night..its nearly 2am. Thank you everyone for your help. It has been great :-)
