Canada Lookup Request / Re: Alan Edward Elton in Montreal b1877

I'm also seeing a John Elton, also a trooper in the Imperial Light Horse, Service #1586, also references services #40755 which links to a William Johnson which must be a mistake.

Found your John Elton..... he was also transcribed as an Etton, but no change to his service number on the index I am looking at.  He's  British, NOK a stepmother, Mrs S Flint, in Tonbridge.
Or maybe this is his first enlistment?   Getting confused here!

A very tiny bit more info:
His service number when he first enlisted was 2859.  It is also attached to a second service number of 39399.
The 39399 has him mistranscribed as surname "Etton".  The index for his reenlistment (at Green Point, which is by Cape Town) in Dec 1901, (had been discharged from 2859), says he was Canadian, a planter, and NOK was his brother, D. Etton, residing Montreal.  Sadly no address, just GPO Montreal.

So possibly the Wm Elton, his first NOK, was his father?

There is this one, registered early 1922, so it could be her if her birthday was late in 1921?

Okay!  Check your private messages when you return  (I'm still working on it)

Edit:  there should be 2 messages from me, found someone else (living) of interest.

I did get an error message that Rootschat has a high server load at present.

I assume he would have died in Vancouver?  Deaths are not made public for about 40 years here.

But!!!   I think I have found his family on facebook,  am just in the process of writing you a private message, as they are living people.  Do you have an account at Facebook, so you will be able to view the links I send?
