wedlock family
« on: Thursday 12 August 10 11:06 BST (UK) »
My Great uncle emigrated to Canada in 1913, he was down as my grandfathers next of kin during WW1 as being in British Columbia. But I cannot trace him any further in Canada in 1915. His name was William John Wedlock, born 1888 in Surrey, England.

I would be grateful for any bits of information to try and solve his mysterious disappearance.

Thank you

Afternoon beagle,

I checked the National Archives and there is a William Wedlock, b 21 June 1888 with attestation papers to join CEF. Not sure if this is your fella since he is living in Ontario, but worth a look. You can get his service file from the Archives of Canada for him - if it is him, for a reasonable fee.

If you think that William stayed in BC, perhaps you can contact the Vancouver Public library and have them do a lookup in the directories there?

Hope this helps,

JDC

Excellent JDC. Obviously need Beagle to confirm the birth date but there was a William John Wedlock Birth Registered in September 1888 Kingston. Surrey so that would fit very nicely. We are struggling to find anything in the USA.  ;)

Hi,

Since "contact" in North America, there has been lots of boarder crossing both for visits and other permanent moves. It's good to check both sides of that imaginary political line  ;D Keep us post on what you find south of our border.

The attestation papers show name as William Robert Wedlock not William John Wedlock.

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't go in and look at the actual documents, guess I should have :-( The search continues.

I can confirm that William John Wedlock was born in Kingston in 1888.

Hi beagle,

Did you get the birth cert to verify this William is yours? I don't know how far Surrey and Kingston are apart?

Cheers, JDC
