Hi,
With the death date 30 Dec. 1922, I think this is entry on Find A Grave, Brandon Mental Hospital
cemetery, Johnston, Ritchie, age 27.

Added: Photo of the large stone with a list of names of those who died in the Mental Institute. From the Manitoba Historical Society.

Have you come across Mrs. A. Driver in your search.

Hi,
Welcome. I think perhaps it was his intention to return to Canada, but something happened
to change those plans during his holiday in the UK.
In case you didn't have this, here he is on the 1931 Canadian census, age 30, school master.
He is second from the bottom.

Hi,
There is a small mention in the Standard newspaper St.. Catharine's, Ontario 6 June, 1932.
" Mr. A.E. Brierley of Ridley College is leaving this week for holiday in England."
He appears on the incoming passenger list from Montreal arriving Liverpool 3 July 1932, age 31, school master, going to The Croft, Sheen Gate Grdns., London. He lists his future permanent residence as "Other parts of the British Empire."

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Rejected by US Authorities in 1913
« on: Saturday 21 June 25 00:46 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I agree with PB. I also believe that the Sieradski's were not rejected. Pages 1 and 2 of the manifest are separate pages. The 2 people on the 2nd page (names hard to read) that were rejected are a male age 35 and female age 11, both born Russia under section 11. Section 11 is likely public charge, the immigrant may not be able to support themselves, or it was a health issue, contagious disease.
