Shhh, don't tell my husband 

I find other message boards your queries can sit there for months not being answered.  You'll find this board is always quick to help.

Some of the other more helpful chatter's have been away, but I'm sure once their back will help.

 ONCE AGAIN BIG BIG THANKS .

[Mr. MIGKY]

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD LOOK UP IN CENSUS 

[KarenM]

I have been searching for him in the census, but I'm not having much luck.  Since he signed up at Perth, Ontario which is in Lanark County and the Distributing Home in Belleville he may have stayed in that part of the Province (Eastern Ontario).  I have been trying to find the pages for Pike's Falls Ontario as well.  In case he was there in 1911.

Do you know what his parents name were?
