... I can't see him on the 1939 England Register so if it is Alfred may be likely he returned to Canada  between 1933 to 1939. Can't identify him on any lists leaving England for this period however.

Mmm.. Yes I see what you mean Michelle. The D.O.B on the death cert. matches his birth certificate. That's about as much evidence really. I had noticed other Alfred Taylor's too. I don't think we'll ever know for sure unfortunately. But I will keep digging 😊

Grimsby was a major fishing port so may be with the Canadian recession he went back for work. Looking now for a return trip back to CA.

Hi Lisa, Michelle and dbree

Great work, thank you. I now feel some headway is being made and everything you all say and found seems to make sense and fit. Based on what was said earlier about Alfred possibly leaving for England and returning I've been searching incoming passengers to UK 1930+ and found this on Ancestry:

Hope you can open the link. Could it be Alfred ? Age fits and occupation is fisherman ?

Sorry, really apologise for my lack of geographical knowkedge, I didn't realise BC was so far from Ottawa. I guess it'll be virtually impossible 😣

Hi Michelle and dbree, really appreciate your interest and help..

Do you think there is any way of finding Alfred's whereabouts for the time between 1929 to his death in 1968.

Since his name was the same at time of death that would suggest perhaps that he didn't assume another name, but can't be ruled out altogether I guess ?.  Also, the report card, I can't quite read the name of his placement but it looks like Wm. Moriarty, would you agree and could this be a lead perhaps.

I was also thinking if an obit. may provide more info about his life in Canada?  As he was single (according to death cert) it's highly unlikely to be any descendants which is a pity. May be with a bit of luck he can be found somewhere in between the places between Ottawa and Comox. I can only hope.

Thanks again
Graham

.. Doh ! Just realised his death Cert states he was single so may be an obit may provide more details.

... It must be his death Cert. His birth cert states gives d.o.b as 19.11.1912. I guess only being 3y/o when orphaned and taken to the home, his understanding of his origins may not have been known to him or indeed the person giving the details to register the death. I'm just wondering if anyone can find him anywhere and with any family ?
