Only Gunstone still listed on here within the whole province...
http://www.canada411.ca/....although may well be Joseph A descendants...
but may want to write and inquire as may have been a cousin...

Found this military file listing - so thought I'd post... J.J.

I think this may be of interest to you. Did you have a George Gunstone in your line as well?

I saw that, also, Janice...there was also a birth/ death in 1887/ Ecclesall B and in 1902 birth Sheffield for a Harry Hope Gunstone....wonder if either were a son to him...? Might have been a brother's child, as well...J.J.
I couldn't find the author's birthplace, though and it seems a recent publication....so it would be intersting to see where he came from that's for sure!  ;D  J.

I see now that Kate Hilda was born Ecclesall B. so the first likely could have been his boy...

Harry was a patternmaker by trade in England, ( 1881 & 1891 & 1901 census) Janice, in case you see him anywhere in directories...although trades can change when immigrating, depending on the demand....

Is the Joseph A. that Janice is finding in directories, an uncle, or is it Harry's son?
and did Mabel & Gladys emigrate as well?

Hi JJ and Janice.....I don't really know of a George....unless he emmigrated to Canada because he had a rellie named George there...Maybe a Cousin....How did you ever find him in that book ?? Harry Hope did have a Son Harry Hope born March quarter 1902 but he would be too young...Appreciate all your help...Please don't stop...Kind Regards Carol...
