I am looking for Lance Lesley PINCHESS b Leicester , England 1899 and his wife Lillian (ISON) I think they immigrated to Canada in about 1920-1923. I think it was the New Toronto area (wherever that may be). They had a son Lesley Austin PINCHESS (b 1923) I know he had a son because I found him on the CWG website (he too was married to a lady called Marjorie and it said they were from New Toronto). Lesley was in the Royal Canadian Airforce and died in WW2 (1943). I found him on the CWG website aged 23.
Any help /leads in just finding BMD dates would be much appreciated .
One more thing I thought of there was a rumour that they also had connections with the name Silk and British Columbia and Mississauga(?) were also mentioned
thanks in anticipation
Janet

Hi Janet,
Not sure what "New" Toronto would be? But Mississauga is just outside Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto International Airport (Pearson) is actually in Mississauga, Ontario. It's now in the Regional Municipality of Peel, I can't think what county it would have been in before that, maybe County of York?
I havn't been able to find anything under Pinchess, not that there is none out there.
Any idea's what first names would go with the Silk's?
Karen

Thank you soooo much for all your help - my sister and I have waited so long for this information. Where are you all getting this infomation from??
Can anyone help now with
1. dates of birth for Leslie Austin and Howard
2. marriage info on Howard eg date & wife's name
3. date of birth for Marjorie is she his sister or is she Leslie's wife
4. do we have a date for Lilly's death?
I know this sounds a lot to ask - but it will take us one step further to finding LIVING rellies in Canada
Thanks in anticipation
Janet

You may have some luck with writing to someone with the name of Silk in Ontario or Vancouver...Manory and David would be elderly if still with us, but there is a chance that if you write to the Davids that one might be a son or Grandson...
Some people have had great success with this method of contact.
As you said, Pinchess are few and far between and this family lost their sons ...there was no mention of grandchildren in the obit...but maybe that was just the short version?
