Hi Helen,
I was told that James came to Canada to work for the North West Mounted Police,
after he was badly beaten,I hope his police records are able to help shed some light on this.I'll have to ask around on why Winnipeg. Sid and Fanny had land outside of Winnipeg near Eriksdale, Manitoba,where Sid built a log cabin for Fanny.
I'll Keep you posted
