Help needed accessing free Fold3 records

[Glen in Tinsel Kni]

The internet definition of 'free' is somewhat different to the generally accepted real world definition. 

Don't get me started on the likes of youtube & Yahoo mail who force me to have adverts or pay to be ad free, in the case of Yahoo the new ad banner leaves just a tiny window & covers all but the two most recent emails.

 Don't remember seeing anyone wanting to immigrate to become a soldier before! (Occupation "Teamster" on immigration) I see that Joseph claimed to have also spoken Russian?
Odd that Joseph claimed (while in his choice of military service) to have immigrated in 1914 on the 1921 Quebec census. So you're searching for the evidence of a military past in England?
I see that he was in an institution 1911 census & that father Joseph was also in one as a lad & again as an adult as well.
It was/had a military school - in Hereford St Owen, Hereford City, Herefordshire, England

The census info, although not yet connected to it... also points to a family tree!!!

JJ - many thanks for the info, you have actually replied to a different thread but I still found it okay.

It is odd that Joseph emigrated to Canada to join the army but his passage was paid for by the Church Army  which was something different.

It's possibe that he could have spoken Russian because I recently found out that his cousin married a Russian man who had emigrated to Canada but landed in Britiain after WWI, they married in Hampstead, London before leaving to live in Canada.

That itself is odd because I would have thought he might have their names as to whom he is going to live with. But the person he does list is his aunt Sarah Chester although she lives in America not Canada, I would have thought if you were emigrating to Canada you would have to give a Canadian address.

I have already found the details of Joseph's ealier life and how his parents more or less abandoned him and he grew up in care and an industrial school. I just wanted to see if he had a happy ending and built a life in Canada or America but he seems to disappear.

  Hi, deejayEn... Your request was indeed on the previous page of this very thread.
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=894901.msg7694550
It is only natural to look beyond the recent knowns, and I was searching for any other relatives in Canada who might have preceded him ( If he never entered the states, then where was he?) and also trying to figure out the circumstances of his connection with the military.
  Good luck with your searches, but...If you have other posts on this person, you should link to them & post urls to connect them in order to avoid duplication & searches you might deem unnecessary! J.J.
