I have a friend whom I can send to Harrow library (  ) at any time to look up old maps if you wish?

Maybe they can find Glengarry Farm,no road exists today with any such name.
Nor can I remember one from the 60's onwards.

smudger

everyone who took the time and trouble to help me in my recent post, i really am very grateful and really do appreciate all the help and info , i  fully understand that a request for details about a "Smith"
is hard work and cannot thank you guys enough,
 i got some very good facts about charles juniors entry into canada, and although we didnt get everything ( thats the way of geneology, i think) it may be that at some point in the future , all will be
revealed.   So once again well done Canada.


kind regards

I thought a second set of eyes might help with the form 30 for Charles. It looks like 1911 to me for his first arrival. I think the employers may have been Burke Bros. I did a quick Google search and there was a business called Burke Bros. on Mulberry St in Hamilton in the ice cream business:

jacquie,
 thanks for that, 1911 would fit perfectly, as we last have him in uk on 1911 census, i did wonder about a  1917 arrival ,as on his recruitment card in april 1918, it says he has previously served a year in the haldimand regt, and also would the brits allow able bodied men to emigrate at that time in the depths of ww1, even though he was technically a new zealander ?
many thanks once again

Hi Carol

SORRY, what I wasn't very clear about was GlenGaryFarm may have been in Hendon/Willesden and maybe not (Hendon)/Wealdstone.
I hadn't even thought about the actual birth reg Wealdstone to Hendon bit.

Sheepcote Road is def not Wealdstone(or Willesden) so they may have moved to SheepcoteRd from Wealdstone(Willesden). If they came back from NZ say early 1890s and his business (auctioneers/furniture dealers) folded in 1901 then the farm (business?) didn't last long.

Smudger may know.

The name Glengary Farm intrigues me, I now need to find it as being from that area (Willesden-Wealdstone-'Arrer), with my family around there since 1890's and my god-father's family are/were big dairy farmers in the area ...

not being from middx i must admit i was confused about the geography , at first i thouht wealdstone where the farm was , and willesden whr charles junior was last heard of in 1911 census, could have been the same place, as to my scots ear they sounded similar.
also when the financial trouble began for charles rhodes snr  1908-1910 , the address given in london gazzette was glengary farm, wealdstone , station road harrow. i wondered if wealdstone and harrow were or are 2 seperate places,(poss running into each other).up to march 1910 charles sen is listed in documents as charles rhoades, but after that i have him on daughter margrt marriage cert as simply charles, after that i cant find him anywhere

Hi Smudger

Is this your man?

hi tsu
well done , it  is indeed our man , in the london gazzette btween 3 march 1908, until 4th march 1910,
there are 4 entries relating to finance probs, poss bankruptcy, and this is the last i can find him anywhere apart from his name on daughter margaret marriage cert on 18th oct 1910, but it dooes not say if he is deceased, it is a mystery as to where he and his 2nd wife edith, and young archie are

once again thanks for your time, good job
