Canada Lookup Request / Anthony Francis Kendall 1888
« on: Thursday 20 January 11 18:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am looking for Anthony Francis Kendall born 1888 at Inglewood New Jersey.
His Father was William Kendall born 1855 St Enoder. William was a railway tunnel miner in Cornwall and came to the USA to work on the Hudson Railway Tunnel linking New Jersey to New York. This project was delayed because of funding and William returned to England with son Anthony and Newly married wife Catherine Hernan. I don't know if she is the birth mother.
Anthony Francis married Sarah Cooksey at Rotherham, England and had three children. During wwI he was an ambulance driver. After the war he came home to a broken marriage and immigrated to Canada in 1919. The passenger list indicates that his profession in England was ACROBAT but he was heading to River Hebert, Nova Scotia to work as a mechanic. His Father William had migrated to Canada in 1914 to River Hebert but before 1919 had moved out to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I suppect that Anthony would have gone out west but he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth after his 1919 arrival in Canada.
I would really love to trace him and also find out who his birth mother was..
I really would appreciate any info you might be able to find.
This post was on the USA board and it was suggested that I put it on the Canadian board.
Thanks
Wayne
