Dear RunKitty, You have given us a lots of food for thought on Hugh Alex Fraser and your observations tie in with his Grand Niece's notes for Lovells Directory Montreal 1924-35 220 First Avenue, Verdun, Montreal but she has a few typos later in her "many, many" pages of notes! Yes, I reckon that the obituaries in the Montreal Gazette are a good bet for us to follow up on. It is like searching through the many sources of MI's in Scotland for 1700 - 1800 headstones to get at the older parts of the Family Tree - yes, it is a slog but on many times worth it!
We do appreciate your thoughts and work in digging out these nuggets on Hugh Alex Fraser.
Many thanks, nw_whiskers.
