Wilfred Hince
« on: Thursday 02 July 09 11:44 UTC (UK) »
Wilfred Hince , born 1885 in Ramsey, Isle of Man, UK, sailed to Canada  in 1913 on the 'Tunisian' from Liverpool to Halifax.  I think he then stayed in Canada and was last heard of during the First World War at Box Number 184, Banff, Alberta.  Any ideas on how I find more information on him?  His Father was William, Mother was Jane and had sisters Elizabeth and Annie, and a brother Robert.

Hince, Wilfred
(Click on the image under Attestation Paper and you can view the actual record)
In the upper right of the front page is "54 B?"
This Wilfred's mother was Mrs. Jane Hince, Heaton Chapel, nr Manchester.  Wilfred was born on January 7, 1885.
It looks like the papers were signed in Vernon, BC.

and the only Wilfred on the IGI as an extracted file is born  Jan 7 1885, Ramsey / Isle Of Man, Eng
to parents William Hince & Jane Bowdon Hince
( also a Margaret Annie Hince born Christmas day 1886, Douglas, Isle Of Man, Eng

Have just looked at all the links you've found for me - a mystery has been solved at last! I also looked at the website for Kelowna and can see why he wanted to settle there.  Fabulous scenery compared to industrial Manchester of the early 1900's - no comparison.
