Im looking for a passenger list or immigration record for Allen Frederick Sykes, born 1882 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England who after fighting the Boer War left England for Canada apparently early 1904.
By the time of the 1906 Canada census he was working as a carpenter and living in LeBret Sask under the name of Alfred Frederick Roberts. He was C of E but became a Catholic when baptised at the Sacred Heart Church in LeBret on July 27,1906 but as Joseph Arthur Frederick Roberts. On Feb. 12,1907 he married (under the name of Arthur Frederick Roberts) Clementine Flora McArthur at the Sacred Heart Church in LeBret. He and his wife went on to have 4 children. The 1916 census has Arthur Roberts , born 1882 England, labourer odd jobs with his wife For a, born 1882 Sask and his four children born between 1909 and 1916 in LeBret. He later enlisted for service in WW 1 in Regina and was killed in France. His wife then went on to marry a Mr Desjarlais.
In addition to Mr Sykes incoming passenger list I am also looking for any information relating to his name changes in Canada as I would like to know the reason for those name changes. Also would like the marriage record for his widow to Mr Desjarlais. I did find a widower by the name of Desjarlais living next door to the Roberts family in the 1916 census with his daughters and mother. Mr Desjarlais was given as age 49 born 1869 in Sask in the census and I suspect he is the one who married Mrs Roberts but I could not read his forename in the census. Death record for Mr and Mrs Desjarlais would also be helpful.
