Grandfatheri
« on: Monday 28 December 15 10:22 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find any information about my grandfather William Armstrong he was born in Liverpool England about 1875 he married Rachel burgess in 1896 his job was listed as marine fireman he was on 1901 census in Liverpool but after that he isn't on any other. Some years ago I was looking through some papers I had among them was a letter from a mr Parker of 11 Jeanette avenue Windsor Ontario saying my grandfather was working for him I would like to know did my grandfather settle in Canada or did he move on I would be grateful for any information

Anc tree gives 1901 address - 4, Lancaster Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool.  Also says he passed away June 1908 Toxteth Park Liverpool - no source however.  ::)

1911 Canadian Census shows an Andrew Parker and family at 200 Jeanette Avenue, Windsor.  House numbers may have changed over time.  He is noted as a mason.
