Identification of Uniform
« on: Thursday 11 May 06 08:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,

My American cousin is helping a friend with her family history and has asked if I can identify the unifroms in the two attched photo's.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Prue & Denn,

Your answers are the same as I thought very Free Mason like.

Hi Trevor,

Just noticed that one of the photography studio marks says St. Catherines.  This could be St. Catherines Ontario, which is near the border with New York State.  If you need any Canada help come on over to the Canada Board.  We're very friendly  ;D

It is Ontario - here is someone with another photo from the same studio and his family is from the Niagara region of Ontario.
