John Benjamin Langley (1878-1968)
« on: Thursday 31 July 25 15:39 BST (UK) »
Looking for emigration/immigration info on John Benjamin Langley (1878-1968), who was born in London, emigrated to Toronto from the UK, and then emigrated to the USA in 1923. Also could use the full name on his 2nd wife Martha, who was born in Nashville, TN, in about 1892, per their petition for naturalization. Also, perhaps there are possible UK/Canadien military/draft records. I already have the 1942 one in the USA. He was a Lather.
    Thanks,
       Brian

Thank you for the wonderful details. Any military info? Also, can you find any dates/places on Martha's parents?  This is great.

1930 Census Chicago  he is 51 years old and divorced.

He would have been late thirties early forties for WWI so not necessarily called up. Nothing on ancestry for Canada.
