Hi,
I have been trying to find a Charles Frederick Bruce born 1881 Beverley, England. died abt.1961 London, Ontario, Canada?
I believe he married a Lillian May Banks born abt. 1892? England, died in Canada.
I am trying to find where they lived and if they had any children, any assitance would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

There was a death in Galt for an Arthur Frederick Bruce 15 Sep 1914 at home on Francis Street. Arthur was 3 months of age - cholera and delicate condition cause of death. Father was given as Fred Bruce - no mother given. Might be the first born of your couple.

It looks like Frederick Bruce was in WWI. Lillian and daughter Lillian travelled back to Canada to Galt in 1919.
