I'm after any information on Percy Pryke Woodbridge.
I'm not sure if this should be on the USA or the Canada board as he seems to be present in both countries at various times.
He was born in 1887 Abingdon, Berkshire, England to parents Charles and Elizabeth (nee Dines).
He left Liverpool, ENG on 11 Mar 1909, bound for Saint John, NB, Canada on board the
Tunisian.
I have found a couple of online snippets about him in books.
Percy P. Woodbridge is the well known efficient secretary of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, which position he has held since 1924. Mr Woodbridge is a native of England. He was born in the famous old city of Oxford on February 18, 1887. His father, Charles Woodbridge, also a native of Oxford was a farmer, miller and grain merchant. He died in 1904 at the age of 57 years. The mother, Elizabeth (Dines) Woodbridge was born in......Ref: Historic Michigan, Land of the Great Lakes, Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Michigan Historical Commission 1928.
Everything in the snippet about England is true other than the Oxford birthplaces. Both father and son were born in Abingdon, Berkshire.
He is mentioned in other snippets from books relating to Calgary, CAN and perhaps agriculture (not enough to go on)
Is anyone able to find out any more information about Percy? Who he married (if he did), children etc. Anything would be great.
Thanks
