Camilla is the right answer as can be seen from this link.

Here’s a little pop quiz in honour of the upcoming royal wedding.

 Which member of the British Royal family is also a descendent of Zacharie Cloutier?

Just in case you missed my earlier post with the link for Canadian Vickers.

And here is a link for the H-class subs build by C-V.

Note that it looks like United Shipyards were only active during the Second World War building Liberty ships.

Your great Grandfather could also have being in Canada to give technical advice to local industries, or as an inspector to make sure that British standards are met.


War industries and Commerce
“Large scale military industries developed in Canada following its entry into the First World War.  Under the coordination of the Imperial Munitions Board, supplies from Canada flowed to Europe as industries, old and new, produced enormous quantities war material.  By 1917, some 600 factories were employing at least 150,000 workers, out of a population of over seven million, making everything from uniforms to submarines.  Ammunition was an especially important industry and nearly a third of all ammunition fired by Allied artillery during 1917 was Canadian made.”

The Sherbrooke Hussars and Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke are local milita units and as such would not have any connection to your Great Grandfather’s work.

If your grandparents were living in the Montreal area, why would they travel all the way to Sherbrooke (about 50 miles) to get married? There are many Anglican churches in and around the Montreal area.

This may be a red herring, but is it possible that the Allen family listed on the 1911 census in Sherbrooke are related to your grandmother? An uncle and cousins?  If so it could explain the location of the marriage.

St. Peter’s Church is still standing In Sherbrooke.

I went on the Library and Archives Canada web site and checked the 1911 census. I found an Allen family living in Sherbrooke Quebec in the West Ward, listed on lines 43 to 46 on the following pdf.

I would think that the bridges he was working on at the time they met (before Dec. 1917) would be in the Sherbrooke area of Quebec’s Eastern Townships.

On the “Your Folks” genealogy web site I found a marriage listed between Henry Atkinson and Rose Eleanor Florence Allen on December 12, 1917 in Saint Peter’s Anglican Church in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Can you give the name of the Bridge in question?
