Lancelot Gales b1882

[Windy]

Searching for evidence of Lancelot Gales, B c1882 in Llanifhangel? Brecon.

On the English 1901C he is 19 and living in Doncaster, Yorkshire, Father Alfred Mother Fanny.  His occupation is given as Telegraphist. He married Betty Bunker, don't know when, or when they emigrated.

Any information would be excellent.

There's a Lancelot Gales living in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1911 who was born in 1882 in England.  Immigrated to Canada in 1908, has a daughter Olga and wife Ben, but could read Betty and Eliza, his occupation is a traveler.

The Manitoba expert will see this thread and be more helpful

Yes, this is your bunch, as Wife is  "Bess" b. feb. 1881 and the child is I am 99% sure- Olga born 1908 in England also...and Baptist....which might help for cemetery information although resources are limited....

Actually Lancelot is down as TRAVLER... I love the creative spelling census takers used....

Anyway, just in case this was a relative who prompted them to come here, there was a Joseph Gales on the 1901...born 1850 who came over around 1871...but rel. Presb.

No sign of your Lancelot  Alfred Gales or family on any available resources so far....Llanfihangel Brecon is the proper spelling I found..Now try and say it... have to run off but will get back to this....

Hello

there is an Lancelot Alfred Gales who homesteaded the SE part of Section 20 Township 25 Range 7 Meridan W1 (this is near the communities of Faulkner, Grahamdale, Spearhill in Manitoba, if I have read my map correctly.) This homestead was granted between Sept. 27, 1920 and  Oct. 08, 1920 so he likely filed on it around 1914 or so.

You can look here to view the above information

Hope this helps

Good one Thelma...hadn't gone into the land grants yet... Trouble is, I don't have the interlake region in my phone book( this is the RM of Grahamdale)..but we have about 20 Gales in Winnipeg...
I used to make phone calls but have stopped, as haven't been successful...and some people think I am just plain crazy and tell me off!

Have found out from Windy's sister that the actual name for the wife of
Lancelot Alfred Gales is Bertha Gales (Bunker) and the daughter is Olive Bertha Gales, should anyone have information on the family.
