Yes it is, Thank you, we have that.
What we are missing is the from when he was about 8 or 9 and taken from the Isle of Wight, to Canada, Probably around 1905. (His mother actually married in 1905 and we found census info, but he is not listed on that, so he must have been gone by then).
Records were also checked on the Isle of Wight for the workhouse, in case he was there, but no luck). I was unable to locate any travel records, (that is why I thought perhaps he was one of the boys in the child migrant scheme), I checked some of the websites, but nothing came up for him. We know he said he was placed with the Hurrell Family in Hull, Ontario Canada, and we found some records on Courtenay Hurrell, who was the son in the family,(I have printed the records I found, he was in his 20's so most likely on his own then). but nothing for his parents or his 2 sisters Muriel & Jean Hurrell. And no census or records for Tony during that time period. From what I found it looks like the Hurrell went to Canada in 1900.
Thanks again for all your help.
