Hi Janice

Thank you very much for the links, extremely useful.
There is a possibility that George W's birth name was in fact Tryon as we have found a family with both Tryons and Steeles in it. So his mother might have been married twice, who knows?.

Many thanks .................. Mike

Matilda Tryon  and George W. Tryon are indeed on the 1901 census...
with all the other older children whose surnames are Steele

My head spins when i can't wrap my brain around things...but I have found this same George Tryon's Attestation papers...and it says George WONDER Tryon...So do we have the right man, or was the middle name written wrong either way??
I'm so confused...

I had found the same census, Janice, but thought it would be a stretch between families...so...brain spins once again...

Funny thing is...I am FROM Davidson Sask. raised there as a teen... Cool!

Just read from beginning and you have attestation for George Winter Steele?
Ahh. WW2...well, it is not unusual for a fellow to have fought in both wars...
so this can't be ruled out entirely until all avenues have been searched...
He was discharged early for medical reasons...J.J.
