Canada / Peach Farms in Canada
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 12:08 BST (UK) »
One of my relatives Ted (in his 80s) remembers traveling through Canada during WW2 and being on a train which stopped and young men came to the train from a peach farm to give them peaches. His memory is a bit 'fuzzy' but he thinks it was 'on the plains' somewhere past Toronto! He then also remembered that an Uncle had emigrated to Canada from the UK when Ted was a child and that the uncle Henry William Smith from Oakington Cambs was supposed to have owned a peach farm.
I wonder how comman peach farms were in the inter war years in Canada and how difficult it would be to find out where Henry went?
Any advice of information would be greatly received.
Thanx
