William Frederick James BELCHER and Toronto
« on: Sunday 21 April 24 17:19 BST (UK) »
My great uncle William Frederick James BELCHER (b 1881)emigrated from England to Canada around 1910.

He settled in Toronto, later marrying a Rose Elizabeth CALVER in 1914, who was also an emigrant from England.

He then served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WW1.

After which, I believe he then worked for the (or a ) Toronto Tramcar company.
[ I have a photo showing him with colleagues alongside a tramcar ].

I am able to find him on the 1921 census with Rose and one child, but beyond that, I am none the wiser.
Might someone be able to direct me what / where records post 1921 might be, if available ?

Or maybe some other is also researching the same family and may wish to contact ?

My thanks in advance.

Brian E

Thank you very, very much for your contributions; In what can only be described as a two hour trawl, my family history has been expanded greatly.

Thank you so much
