Awe, the lad's middle name is Randolf....I'd say he named him after Mr. Hill.
I'm guessing this fellow had a good home...J.J.

J.J.  You are amazing.  :) Looks like they had a lifelong friendship/family with the Hills.

If anyone can find cemetaries I might be able to grab some photos for Mazz this summer, we are in the area if they are Huntsville/Muskoka.

Busy week here, its winter again!!

Thanks kiddo, but let's face it, your information opens up the door for more... ;D

Am now wondering if above Lance may have been a son

ALLINSON, perhaps a grandson's marriage! No names used online as the couple would be living...Info available at same source as above links
scroll down 2/3

Hmmmmm I now can see there are 2 entries for the same bride but with 2 different names for the groom?

There is one Allinson listed for Huntsville...I think one note might go a long
way to getting more answers!

The boys may have kept in touch, judging by the name change and both adding the "N". (Although, being a twin, I can tell you that the same notion can come to a sibling miles away from you....)

Although not relevent to your search, I need to mention here, for any other researchers, that there was another boy actually listed as "home boy" on the 1911 census with Lancelot and his employer's ( friend's) household .
Frederick Parker ( 1911 says came over in 1906 , & b. Oct 1898 age 12 )
The closest listing at collections canada is PARKER, Frederick age 9 - 1908
