This is the only info I have but hope it helps us find where William died or lived etc after the dates listed not sure what any of the above records really mean
could anyone explain what these are as I'm not really sure
I would love to find where William died or any other info on his life
not sure why he would have been in jail
there was 3 Samuel siblings all in Canada around 1920 onwards William Alexander and Helen
I only know alexander died in Windsor Ontario in 1962
I have no info on the death of William or helen
any help given will be greatly appreciated
