Hello beagle,

Have you tried the Canada Board ? If your William was in British Columbia and was a Canadian Soldier of War, there could be Attestation Papers. These apparrently give alot of information and could be helpful to you if found.  ;)

Hi Sandra  ;D

I did look around Canadian records but I wouldn't say I exhausted all leads.  Perhaps someone may be able to find his trail in Canada.

Apart from William being named as your granfathers next of kin in British Columbia, have you ever found him on a passenger list - you mentioned 1913  ???

There is a Wm J Wedlock, born c1888, arriving in 1910.  There are two entries: one states port of arrival was Halifax, Nova Scotia, the other states the port was Portland, Maine.  (Perhaps it sailed to Portland before arriving at Halifax?)  ???

I cannot view further details.

Thank you for finding the details, Sandra.

It looks like he didn't stay in Toronto.  I checked a couple of Toronto directories and he is not listed.  There is a John Wedlock, but he is also in the 1908 directory, so he can't be your William John.

Thank you for all your help.
I do have details of the sea crossing - WJ Wedlock left Liverpool, England on 11th July 1913 on the Empress of Ireland age 19 years occupation - coach builder. The ship was heading for Quebec.

What happened to him between then and his being in British Columbia in 1915 who knows! The address given on my grandfathers military records was c/o post office BC.
