There's attestation papers for soldiers WW1 which really sound like Horace but the name is Thomas. He was born 6 May 1887, Sheffield, York and was living in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He was a lumberjack. His father was John Hailwood, Barnsley, York. He signs his name Tom Hailwood.

I know that my grandfather went to canada as a young man, in the early part of 20th century. How can i find out which year and how he travelled. He returned some time during 1st world war having joined the canadian forestry commision.
I am new to genes reunited and not up to scratch with negotiation of site.
