Gaylard / Prescott

[Jacquie in Canada]

But there again I can find no record of a Cyril Gaylard either. So if you can tell me a bit more about him maybe I can help dig further.

Cyril, 12, sailed to Canada on the Megantic which arrived in Quebec on 4 May 1914. He was travelling with his mother, Rosalie and brother, Bernard. Here's a link to the passenger list at Library and Archives Canada:

There is a birth in the Free BMD for a Cyril Edgar Gayland that was registered in the 4th quarter of 1901 in Chertsey, Surrey (Vol 2a, Page 64). The actual page in the FreeBMD does say Gayland but it is possible the actual certificate could be Gaylard.

By the way, I've sent you a personal message, mgaylard.

Hi,

Parents: Walter Gaylard and Emily Ware/Wane  the "R" could look like a"N".
Fathers Occupation: Groom Domestic,Address GreenHuey(?) North Curry,the address is difficult to read.

On Free BMD the nearest Marriage Date I can find is a Walter Gaylard/Emily WEARE,March 1884 Wincanton.

Maud arrived in Quebec from Liverpool 1 Sept 1910 on the Empress of Ireland.  Her destination was Winnipeg, domestic.  Notation that she was going to her brother ....?

I found a passenger list which has a William Gaylard arriving in Montreal on the Southwark on 23 May 1908. His destination is listed as Winnipeg. Here's a link to the image at Library and Archives Canada (line 18):

There is an Archibald Stanley Gaylard who arrived in Quebec on the Royal George on 21 Jun 1911. Here's a link to the passenger list at LAC (line 2):
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e143/e003570981.jpg
His destination is listed as Winnipeg.

In case you don't have them, here's a link to the Attestation Papers for Archibald S. Gaylard:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/06xo/
He lists his next of kin as W.W. Gaylard, Somerton, Somerset, England.

I found the passenger list where he returns from WWI. He was on the Grampian which arrived in St. John, New Brunswick on Grampian. His next of kin is listed as his mother and his residence as Vancouver. Here's a link to the passenger list at LAC (first name right hand side of page):

At the BC Archives website (http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-48160F3/gbsearch/Births,Marriages,Deaths) there is a marriage for Archibald S Gaylard and Muriel Grace Harbour in Vancouver on 3 Sep 1923. There are also deaths for Archibald Stanley Gaylard in Vancouver on 16 Jul 1960 and Muriel Grace Gaylard in Vancouver on 26 Jan 1986. I don't know if this the right one but there is a William Henry Gaylard who died 31 Mar 1962 in Victoria who was the right age to be your William.

There are people here and at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website who do look-ups for these type of records. I think the marriage and death registrations should be able to confirm the maiden surname of their mother.

Hello Jacquie,

Many thanks for those extra links -am still looking for Sara Maud on the 1901 census,I have a feeling she may have been " farmed" out as she was  one of 12 children !.

Thanks for your interest and help.

Cheers
Dolly.

William Walter Henry Gaylard and Alice Maud Chinnock are the parents of a Stanley William Gaylard born on 4th February 1916 in Edmonton, North London; I have a copy of the birth certificate.

But WWH was supposed to have gone to Canada in 1908.

So, did he come back for the war? Did he just come back? Is the William on the 1908 passenger list the same one?

A Ruth Viola Gaylard shows up in a "Gaylard" search on the BC index. Has anyone an idea of who she is?
