can anyone confirm if there was more than one percy cavey born in channel island between 1894-1896
There looks to be another
Percy Cavey born around the same time as your Percy
here are some details for you to look at so you can probably rule him out
Percy Cavey born c1894 went to Canada with his mother & siblings aboard ship Victorian
date of arrival 3 Dec 1909 Nova Scotia Halifax, dept. Liverpool
Jessie CAVEY 39, Majorie 17,
PERCY 15, Malcolm 11, Victoria 9, Matthew 4, Claude 2
Looking at the
1891 CI census I believe Jessie is
Jessie Theresa Cavey (maiden name looks to be PLUCK 1871/1881c) married to
Matthew Ed Cavey occ Clerk both born St Helier, he arrived in Canada Dec 1908
It looks as if this Percy Cavey's
middle name is EDWARD born 5 Nov 1894 St Helier CI,
Canadian Soldier of WW1 (1914-1916) regiment number 421072,
next of kin
mother Mrs J T Cavey address 707 Langside Winnipeg
US Records of Aliens Pre-examined in Canada (1917 –1954) Date 4 Jun 1929
Percy Edward Cavey born c1895 Jersey CI, married
Percy Edward Cavey died age 89 Victoria on 14 Apr 1984
Sgt. Percy E Cavey, place of residence Winnipeg
Date of Arrival: 21 Sep 1919 Montreal Quebec port of dept Glasgow Scotland Vessel: Corsican
Proceeding from Canadian Discharge Depot Buxton Derbyshire England
Hope this helps
The Merchant Navy Seaman index on FindMyPast have a
Percy Cavey born 1894 St Peter Port
which I think might be the one your researching.
He's picked up a middle name of Wm but it looks right.
His medal card can be downloaded - middle name is William place of birth Guernsey
