JJ - many thanks for the info, you have actually replied to a different thread but I still found it okay.
It is odd that Joseph emigrated to Canada to join the army but his passage was paid for by the Church Army which was something different.
It's possibe that he could have spoken Russian because I recently found out that his cousin married a Russian man who had emigrated to Canada but landed in Britiain after WWI, they married in Hampstead, London before leaving to live in Canada.
That itself is odd because I would have thought he might have their names as to whom he is going to live with. But the person he does list is his aunt Sarah Chester although she lives in America not Canada, I would have thought if you were emigrating to Canada you would have to give a Canadian address.
I have already found the details of Joseph's ealier life and how his parents more or less abandoned him and he grew up in care and an industrial school. I just wanted to see if he had a happy ending and built a life in Canada or America but he seems to disappear.
