Hello again Anneelaine

Took a look at the passenger list for John Staveley but don't think this is who you are looking for.

First off did you notice he was traveling with 4 others Doris age 15,Ernest age 13,Ronald age 12 and Alice no age. They were going to Lac La Biche Alberta.
All born in England. John was pretty young only 17 think the children could have been siblings.

Did some looking around in Alberta but did not see any information on them.

Did not see any records for them  in British Birth records on A******ry Maybe they lied about their ages.

Will keep looking.

Sorry your leads did not pan out on your earlier search for Charles.

Have you followed up and taken your photo (or emailed it) to a military museum and asked them to identify the uniform?  Important to find out as much about that as possible.  Identifying where he served is important.

Please do followup and take your photo in.  With their help we might be able to do more for you.  At the moment it seems that all we can offer is speculation.

Hi Anneelaine,

Staveley from Canada here. I was wondering if you had solved the mystery of your Charles Staveley. I ask because I just came upon this thread and some of the details you have been giving about your Charles are very similar to my Great Uncle Charles. If you are still looking message me so we can compare notes.
