Canada Lookup Request / Re: Alfred Albert Taylor - Comox, BC
« on: Friday 18 October 24 22:11 BST (UK)  »
I'm not sure. I'd like to see some evidence that he travelled across the country to take up fishing. By 1929 (the last date on in his BHC record), he only had experience farming. There are lots of Alfred Taylors around the same age in the Vancouver area that were already fishermen by the 1930s. One of them could easily have traveled to the island to fish in a new area.

Is there any proof that your Alfred Taylor is the one that died in Comox?

I wonder if this might be him in 1931: https://www.ancestry.ca/discoveryui-content/view/1561583:62640?tid=&pid=&queryid=71f68301-b62d-432d-8ab5-7fb52fda5cff&_phsrc=CBq19762&_phstart=successSource.

This is Seymour, Ontario, which is now called Trent Hills, Ontario. It is about 237 km from Ottawa.

Home children are notoriously difficult to track. There's a possibility he was adopted and his name was changed.

He is registered with the British Home Children Registry: https://www.homechildrencanada.com/registry?id=81258.

He went to St. George's Home, as you already know: https://canadianbritishhomechildren.weebly.com/st-georges-home---ottawa.html. This website mentions that many of the children were sent to St. Albert, Saskatchewan. I'll check the 1931 Canada Census.

Hi Graham.

Do you already have the passenger records for his trip to Canada? I found those and can send it if you need it. I'll see what I can find for an obituary.

There was another James Dickson living in Victoria who married a Margaret Pratt in 1920. It's not the same James as your James O. Dickson.

James Ogilvie Dickson b. 27 Apr 1875 d. 21 Sep 1939. It doesn't look like he remarried.

I think Mary Jane Pickles was born in 1880 in Thornton, Yorkshire, England to George and Annie Pickles. Her siblings were Calvin and Edith Pickles.
