Thank you, Janice. I was aware of these websites. I also know that there is a fairly extensive collection of material regarding his professional life in the National Archives of Canada, but most of it is not available online.
i know that he married Grace Quinlan in Sarnia, Ontario on 28.5.1914 and that he died on 3 Feb 1962, but that is about the extent of my knowledge of his personal life in Canada.

Other than the 1911 census information ...you seem to have a lot on him already...
(I assume you must have that information, as you didn't give us an age...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, that photo of him with all the radio equipment is awesome, Janice...you really have found a lot of information...

Thanks Janice. There are a lot of links there which are new to me.
To JJ, he was born in Caithness, Scotland on 12 Oct 1887, so I now have his BDM. Would like to find out if he had any family.
