Please can someone who can access this census tell me what info there is for this man (he was my cousins husband) and what family it lists?
Thank you

Thanks so much for that - looks like the mother had died, and that children and father were living with Grandma? Was there a 1920 census for the same area, or are there any death records online that I can search?
Very much appreciate your help.
Regards
Jan

Sure Jan, I will check for you.  Initially I got confused with this family as I thought that Russell was a child of Mattie... then I realised what was going on....

Mattie is in the same place but with son Harry aged 31 a widow.  No sign of the others, I think they may well have still been in Canada.
