Hello

I am doing a worldwide one name study on this family so any occurances would be good.

If you can to check for two brothers Edwin and George Leeves who imigrated from Sussex England to Ontario Canada in the early 1900's

Thank You

Hello

I know Edwin is buried here. (1957 aged 69yrs)

CHRIST ANGLICAN/MC NAB CEMETERY LINCOLN COUNTY ONTARIO CANADA

And his wife Rose in 1965 at the same place.

I think Rose's maiden name may have been Meadows

Apparantly his brother George (b.1884) may have been killed in a Train accident

Hope that helps
