Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Montréal region couple, c. 1860s, please help verify
« on: Monday 06 October 25 23:38 BST (UK) »
The Minnesota Historical Society Web Archive indicates…
George Eldon Keene operated a photography studio at 803-805 South Front St in Mankato 1888-1905.
Info for T F Leavitt has mention of the studio Leavitt and Keene’s at 803-805 south Front St in Mankato and that he was in partnership with G E Keene.
They apparently operated a photography car on the branch line of the St Paul and Sioux City Railroad. This appears to be related to your photo C.
So it seems to me that the earlier your photo could have been taken appears to be 1888?
More info about George Keene from this link to the Minnesota Historical Society. Just scroll through the K’s to find him…

Added: I also agree B and C (2&3) are the same couple.

Canada / Re: Interpreting Canadian Census entries
« on: Thursday 02 October 25 19:59 BST (UK) »
I believe the “O” would mean born in Ontario. Thus a Canadian by birth. You sometimes see just a “Q” for born in Quebec in some census records.

Interesting change of names. And place of birth.
It looks like mother’s maiden name is actually Yalland.
Cedric Arthur Nicholls
MMN Yalland
Mar qtr 1917
Newport M (Monmouthshire, Wales)
Marriage of parents…
William Nicholls
Annie Maud Yalland
Jun qtr 1904
Newport M (Monmouthshire, Wales)
Cedric is in the 1921 census in Newport with his parents. Born Newport, Monmouthshire.
Cedric Arthur and Cedric Sylvester appear to be the same person.

Canada / Re: Herbert Alphonso Lee - child migration scheme to Canada
« on: Sunday 07 September 25 14:24 BST (UK) »
This is a very old thread revisited but more info is now available.
You may have this info by now but better you have it twice than not. Assuming I have found the correct Herbert…
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92859744/herbert-alphonso-lee?
There is a newspaper article related to his visit to England. I don’t have access so can’t post a link. It mentions a daughter and 2 grandchildren but no names.
Daughter may still be living. There is a baptism in the Drouin Collection in Sutton Quebec in 1941 for a daughter. Image on Ancestry if you have access, should also be on familysearch (free). PM sent with name.
There is a marriage of a Herbert Alphonso Lee to Rosamond Miriam Kemp 22 July 1934 in Sutton Quebec. Image on Ancestry and should be on familysearch.
