Continuing…..
Some notes about William Joel…
Wm Joel is in Oxford County, Ontario in the 1911 census. Borm March 1892 England. Reports arrival as 1902.
Married Edna J Lounsbury in Alberta in 1916.
The couple are living in Calgary Alberta in the 1916 census.
William is living in Bow River District in the 1921 census with his wife and family, household 177 in Keoma Municipality.
Charles is actually living in Keoma too, household 190, so they appear to have been neighbors.
Both Charles and William are still in Keoma in the 1926 census.
William is also in Keoma in the 1931 census with his wife and family, as is Charles with his wife and family.
The death of William is recorded in Alberta in 1956, burial Strathmore Cemetery.
It is hoped if Charles and William were the brothers from Gloucestershire that they knew each other through the years. Added: their marriage certs might provide info like parents. I don’t know what info a death cert would have.
The transcript of William’s death notice doesn’t mention Charles (who has predeceased him) but does mention Ernest so it looks like they must have been in touch through the years even though they lived far from each other. I don’t have access to the actual obit but perhaps someone will come along who does and can post it.
It looks like the widowed wives of Charles and William can be found in Strathmore in a later voters list. Addresses are not given so it cannot be determined if they are in the same household or have their own places.
Added: the 3 boys are certainly collectively muddled about their origins and when they arrived in Canada. We at least have Charles and William in the same place in the 1921, 1926, and 1931 censuses so we can be pretty sure they are the same people through this time frame despite what they report to the census takers. And as noted just above, the mention of Ernest in the obit for William helps to tie the family together.
