Hi All I am hoping someone can help with this, as both of my only GG Uncles seemed to have gone to Canada.
I have one enlisting in the Canadian forces, and the return of the other to England in retirement.
Did either of them have any children in Canada.
ALFRED CHARLES DELL who was a Policeman b1875 Richmond Surrey wife MARY ANN b Penge Kent, returned 1939
CHARLES FREDERICK b1882 Richmond Surrey with infomation below as only clue plus the attestation when he joined the services WW1
Hope some one can PLEASE help
regards Brenda

Many many thanks, and so fast, this is brilliant.
There are many details that make me sure its him, I have occupation Automoble stock keeper.
His father was Henry, but his mother was Sarah Spinks, not Mary Spence. As is shown correctly in the other record you offer to show. I had difficulty reading some of that, and only got the place as Toronto.
Could you now be kind enough as to indicate where i should look, as to areas of Canada etc, as I don't understand them at all.
When earlier trying to search, I was always asked for region or similar, which I had no idea of.
Wonder who his first wife was and if there were any children
I have a couple of clues.
Marriages Dec 1915
Cornwell Frances E Dell Islington 1b 744
Dell Charles F Cornwell Islington 1b 744
Marriages Sep 1916
Dell Charles F Upton Richmond S. 2a 1039
Upton Jeannette Dell Richmond S. 2a 1039
again I cant thank you enough best regards Brenda

The original does look like May rather than Mary. I suppose you're trying to tie it in with the burial of Mary Adelaide Dell in Doan's Ridge Cemetery Crowland Township Welland County?

You can search some cemeteries at this link and Charles F. Dell is shown in Oshawa Union Cemetery, Durham County.
Oshawa has always been heavily involved in the auto industry in Canada

Charles would have married in England to Jeanette Upton. She died July 14, 1923 at the Oshawa Hospital at age 31 from appendicitis and complications. She is buried Union Cemetery. If you want the original scan PM your email address and I will send it.

I would think that if you traced the 2nd wife back she probably came from around Crowland Township and preferred to be buried in that area.
