Albert W. Baker -- James Elliott connection 1904
« on: Friday 30 June 17 15:38 BST (UK) »
  I am trying to find descendants of the James C Elliott family, Canada, 1911 Census, Tweed, Ontario. Family members were wife Elizabeth, daughters Emma and Ida, and step-daughter Ethel Finley. My grandfather, Albert W. Baker, was an immigrant who left Kent, England in 1904 aboard the SS Lake Champlain. From POA Montreal, he went to Toronto and from there he ended up at the farm of James Elliott. While I am still around I would like to how that happened. What process or system did the Farm Labor Bureau use to select my grandfather and send him straight to the Elliott farm?
   Maybe there are living descendants, who through family history passed down through the generations, know the circumstances of how my grandfather arrived at the Elliott farm.
