Donald M McLeod 1916 -

[rodmcplc]

I am one of three children of your grandfather in Canada. My name is Roderick Coston McLeod dob * and living in *. I am the second oldest of 4 children here *. We have wondered for years about my father's life there, but he would say very little and we have known almost nothing. I did not know until after he passed that he had married and had children there. My brothers and sister would very much like to find out more.

The 1916 Canadian census was taken on June 1,1916

Donald Murdoch McLeod was 5/12 months old on that census.

The  British Columbia death record indicates his birthdate Jan 1,1917. I think that his wife who
would have been the informant could have made a mistake on the year.  Or someone transcribed it incorrectly .. bad handwriting.It happens more than one would think. It happened on one of my husbands ancestors death registrations.

Some headstones don't always have the correct information either.
