Canada Lookup Request / George Forrest 1888 Scotland Emigrated 10 Dec 1921 St John New Brunswick
« on: Saturday 16 May 15 20:16 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what happened to my great grandfather George Forrest after he left Scotland bound for Canada.

Here is the information that I have:
George Forrest born Glespin, Lanarkshire 19/5/1888.
Parents: Alexander Forrest 2/10/1840 Biggar to 26/7/1919 Crieff Scotland and Agnes Watson 25/7/1844 Carnwath to 20/7/1917 Crieff.

George lived with his parents in Fowlis Wester near Crieff.
He married Joanna Nicolson Scotland Hutchison in 1914 but she died in 1919. They had two children Jane Nicolson Forrest born 1915 and Agnes Watson Forrest born 1917.
He re-married about 1920 to Jeannie (surname unknown)
He left Scotland on board the Pretorian date of sailing 10 Dec 1921. Stated occupation is Ploughman going to Canada to engage in Farm work. Destined to employer Mr John Gordon Sims? or perhaps Bins? of Morse? Saskatchewan travelling by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

George's brother-in-law was John Nicol (he was married to Jean Forrest) Their son David Nicol born 1895 in Crieff emigrated in September 1923 on the SS Marburn to Quebec then went by train to Windsor Ontario.
David worked in the US rubber company in Detroit before retiring to Windsor Onatrio. He was married to Elizabeth Wylie and had 4 children: John, Jessie, Ralph and Elizabeth.

I have been unable to find out what happened to George Forrest but did gain a lot of information from a publication called "A 19th Century Family Line by John Nicol", dated 1991 Calgary Alberta.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you
