Albert is proving to be rather elusive but here are a few bits.

Albert crossed the border to the USA 19 Dec 1928 accompanied by his mother Rose. He was going to his father in Detroit Michigan and was planning to reside there. Image on Ancestry if you have access.

Albert and Rose crossed the border from the USA to Ontario in March 1932. They indicated they had been in Canada before from 1912 to 1923. Just the 2 of them so I wonder if young Albert remained in the States at this time? If they had been in the US since 1923 I would expect them to be on the 1930 US census but haven’t been able to find them yet. Their Ontario destination was to their daughter Ivy in Woodstock Ontario. It looks like they are planning to stay in Canada. Image on Ancestry.

Next actual sighting of Albert is a 1945 Canada Voters List for Woodstock Ontario. We have…
Albert Fitzjohn Laborer
Mrs Albert Fitzjohn
Miss Winnifred Fitzjohn Operator
Albert Fitzjohn On Active Service (so looks like he joined up in WW2)
