Hi everyone
I am trying to find an elusive ancestor of mine Ernest Albert Victor Whitbread that I have been searching for the last 3 years to no avail :'(. I know he was sent to Canada from Windsor, Berkshire, England by Barnados and arrived on the Labrador on October 2nd 1897 arriving in Quebec en route to Ontario, and that is the last thing I have found out :(. 2 of his brothers namely George and Samuel I have been able to find their marriages and George's death in 1989. It is just Ernest.
Any help anyone can give would be sooo appreciated :)
Thank you in advance

Hi again,
Possibly your Samuel?
http://news2.ourontario.ca/2405070/data?n=4
Have you tried to find obituaries for Samuel and George? They might mention brother Ernest?

Hi Runkitty :)
Thank you for your reply.
Yes the death notice is my Samuel as the card of thanks is from his brother George and George's wife Mabel. :)
Also the newspaper cutting from the Stouffville Tribune dated 26th Jan 1967 is definitely Ernest.:)
The other 2 are a maybe as they do seem to point to my Ernest.
At least now I can try and search for him in Stouffville.
Thank you so much for this.
Kind regards
Snazzyshazzy :)

Here is Ernest in the 1911 Census living in Uxbridge, he is only transcribed as "Ernest" but when you look at the original you can see Whitbread.

I have a bit of information about Ernest Whitbread, BHC, lived in Uxbridge, Ontario Canada. The information comes from a lady who was a neighbour as a child of Ernest Whitbread. Her father looked out for Ernie. He is buried in Uxbridge Cemetery. I could possibly get you a photo of his stone if you would like.

Hi everyone
I am so sorry about the delay in replying to you all, due to family illness I have not been able to do any thing on my computer. :'(
I am hoping to be able to return to this tomorrow so will reply to you individually. :)
Once again I do apologise for not replying earlier. :(

You are very welcome, but krazykat was the one who found out he was buried in Uxbridge. :) That is what lead to the finding of the photo.
I expect the other information that krazykat has will be a great help with your research about your great great uncle. If krazykat makes 2 more posts (they can just be "hi" or something like that), then you two can communicate via PM. :) :)

In 1921 Earnest Wheatbread, still with the Huntington family...it says born in 1890 England arrived 1910, resides Uxbridge, Ontario North. RunKitty's find of George visiting Earnest is fantastic, and the paper also helps track George's moves over the years as well....from Newtonbrook to Stouffville ( & his shoe repair location there) then Oshawa. Just putting in the surname may find more offspring named!

Hi J.J
Thank you for your message.
I now know he was in the shoe repairers and the fact he moved from Newtonbrook to Stouffville and then Oshawa were his brothers George and Samuel. :)So a big thankyou.
Once again
A big thankyou to everyone for all this information.
Best wishes
