Hi again,

Looking for David G in the Toronto Directories - to see if there is a William at the same address.  No luck so far. 

Found David and wife Louella in 1911.  On Sullivan Street (same street, but different number, from 1912 directory address).

The census says David was born in Scotland and came to Canada in 1902.  Religion is Congregationalist.  David is a clerk.  There seem to be a lot of lodgers living with them, but no William. 

1909 and 1912 Directories say that he is foreman current department, Eby-Blain (which is a wholesale grocery business).

1913 says David is a clk.  Still living on Sullivan.

1891 census in Kent, Ontario with her parents - is Lewella.

These do refer to my grandfather, David G. Mitchell, when they were first married, he was working in a grocery warehouse, that is correct.  Luella's name is spelt different ways in different records, but they all refer to the same person.
