I live in British Columbia.  I still have cousins in Stettler.  I'm going to visit them in July.  I hope to get more information then about the Wilson side of the family. My Mother left my father when I was 2 and I lost track of that side of the family. One of my cousins is 80 and still very sharp with many memories of my father's (Wilson) family. I keep in touch with her by e-mail.

It's wonderful that you have Bernard's ID card showing port of entry.  I know his first wife Martha died in 1912 but I wasn't aware that he had remarried. I can't believe your Grandma remembers going to my Grandfather's funeral.

I'm having a great deal of trouble tracing James Wilson's family.  I know he was born in Ontario but I don't know where and there are several James Wilsons born in Ontario around that time.  My cousins in Stettler have pictures and other information.

Hi Codd, I'm so glad to meet you.  Bernard married Martha on Jan 1, 1883. I have a copy of their Marriage Certificate and a picture not sure of when it was taken. He died Feb 2, 1941. All the children were born in Ardock, North Dakota.

Bernard came to the US with a family named Holes. He ran the post office at Bac, ND were he meet and married Martha Henderson. He remarried E.E. Dawson. I have a complete list of birth and death dates for all the children.

Look forward to sharring info about the family with you.

Laura

Hi Laura,

I'm so pleased to meet you too.  I'm so excited about all of the information you have about Bernard and his family and so pleased that you want to share!

I lost track of Bernard after the 1881 census in England.  I found him again in the 1906 census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta.  Then again in the 1916 census, widowed and living with James and Mary.  I have him going back to England in 1919.  I could find no information about his life in the USA.

I'm sending you a personal e-mail off line.
