Ernest G Moody - Montreal.

[Scapaton]

Hello .
           I have been researching my Gt. Uncle. Ernest G Moody's life in Canada for some considerable time, but have been unsuccessful in establishing where and when he died. I do recall my late parents informing me that he died in Montreal in the late nineteen forties or early nineteen fifties,
Ernest immigrated to Canada on 4th July 1914. He enlisted in the CEF on July 31st 1915. Whilst serving with the 20th Can. Infantry Batt. He was awarded the Military Medal.
I have a copy of his service records.
He returned England on a number of occasions, and finally returned to Canada in 1925-26. and settled in Montreal.
Having spent the last couple of years on this research project. I have now run out of records to check. The number of records checked are too long to list.
I would appreciate your help.
 
Regards.
Brian.

Have you tried Lovell's directories?
http://bibnum2.bnquebec.ca/bna/lovell/

If he continued to reside in Montreal, those might at least narrow down his date of death and give you an address for him.

Hello Jorose.
                    I did log on to Lovell directories, but has you will be aware the site records are written in French. Unfortunately when I attended school many years ago, the French language was not on the syllabus, consequently I can't read Frence. It was my intention to contact the site, and ask if they would do me, a look up.
Ever the optimist
 
Thank you.
