Title: canadian births ?
Post by: alan w jones on Monday 09 April 18 17:04 BST (UK): Hello , I am looking for the births of the children of Frank and Alice A Lewis who I think might have been in Canada { he served with CEF } in WW1.
They are Joyce L born 1923 , Margaret J born 1925 , David E born 1928 and Geoffrey born 1932 .
Any help would be much appreciated , I have not found them in the UK as yet .
Regards
Alan

Post by: alan w jones on Monday 09 April 18 17:54 BST (UK): Hi , I have not looked at these before . Frank Lewis was living at Joshua Prout home in Barry , Wales in 1901 so I thought I would follow it up . He was born 1880/1881 at Chittlehampton ,Devon and I think he died there in 1967 , on the grave details it gives Alice Anne " Ciss "Lewis thee as well 1889-1969 and also Geoffrey died 1969 . I found his enlistment paper for Canadian Force in WW1 so I am not sure if he married over there or not .
Regards
Alan
