Armed Forces / Re: John Vernon - born Yorkshire died 1915 as member of Canadian forces

Hi,

From Reply #7 re John's border crossing, there are 2 pages to that. The 2nd page has him destined
to a friend James Moffatt, 652 Washington St. Boston, Mass. It also gives a landing/seaport date of 1 July, 1911 Quebec on the ship Virginian.

There is a Canadian Incoming Passenger List on the Virginian into Quebec on 30 June 1911, from Liverpool.
John Vernon, age 24, miner, destined to Moncton, NB with a notation of "gone to USA"

Hi,

From that Boston, Massachusetts arrival 17 July 1912 of Alice and Gilbert in reply 2, they were destined to South Boston, to her husband J. Vernon at 815 East Broadway, South Boston. Her nearest relative is her mother Mrs. Gill, 212 Canklow Rd., Rotherham.
Page 809 and 810 Line #26 and 27, from Family Search

She and Gilbert then cross the border into Canada 22 Sept. 1913 at McAdam Junction, New Brunswick. It appears the Vernon family spent some time in the USA before heading to Canada.

Hi,

From Library and Archives Canada, there is a service file for John, it is slow to load, double click
on the PDF file.

It gives his date of birth as 29 Oct. 1885, born Rotherham, Yorkshire, England next of kin Alice Vernon, wife, and gives an address of 21 St. Patrick, St. John, NB. His unit sailed 18 July 1915.That would be a troop outward ship, that record isn't available.
He attested March 30, 1915 at Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Hi,

It appears the Lucas family were living in Windsor, Ontario in 1960. From the Windsor Star,
Feb. 20, 1960 page 25, the marriage of daughter Christina Mae with photo. Mr. and Mrs.
Frank A. Lucas of Church Street, formerly of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Having no luck today. ??? The link above isn't working quite correctly. Beside the Page #, on the left
side there are some symbols, if you hover underneath them you can find zoom.

Added: Frank's service file is with Library and Archives Canada, and it appears they are updating
computing services today from 7AM - 7PM. I tried to attach a link but it won't load.  ::)
