Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re: Look-up KING,Charles Albert

Hello JJ,
I traced him through Ontario into Detroit MI Wayne County. I found him listed the Detroit City Directory in 1889. He lived at 98 Cherry Detroit. He is a baker throughout the years.
While he lived in Detroit with his wife's sister's family he was at 1431 Michigan Ave. crossed reference with John HUNTER who would be his brother-in-law (both bakers)
The last address I had on him in Ontario Middlesex Canada
was 2031/2 Clarence. HIs wife Mary Ellen Scott KING died between 1883 and 1889, latter date he married France M. nee COLWELL KING
Charles Albert King's immigration papers I have, he became a naturalized US Citizen Oct 30 1896 in Port Huron Circuit Court St Clair County. He became a US resident 20 Sept 1887. The documents had his birthday noted 12 May 1848 & only documented place of birth as England. So if he became a US resident in 1887, he had to have been in US 6 yrs Federal Law and one yr in Michigan.So this confirms 1881c that he was 1st a boarder at Lydia Snipps home with 2 other men who boarded there, one from England & one from Canada. Then 1883 marred Mary Scott.
He left his family in England so I think he was trying to hide his idenity because he also left my grandmother with three young sons.
Wish I could find (have marriage record on Charles and 3 different women he married) something on Mary Ellen Scott KING, 2nd wife in LondonCanada especially death certificate. Could not find death record on her either but he claimed to be a widow on grandmother's marriage record .
I am guessing he emigrated to Canada in 1881 as his father died that yr. However, there are two children born after 1877 who also carry the KING surname.The lost years are 1877 to 1881. Maybe he came
to Canada between those years. I made contact with Charles A. g-grandson in Leicestershire England and he already had some info I had but he did not know the Charles emigrated to Canada. We are both stuck on Charles whereabouts. Thank you for your interest.
