Hi Ken

Thank you for your response.   Yes, I think that is my grandfather.  He listed on his landing papers that he was a draper.  He worked for a company called  Cannock & Com.  I have a couple of letter from the company to my grandfather.  I think he worked for this company from 1908 til 1920.

I don't have much more information about my great-grandfather except what I had written in my previous message.  I will attach the information that I found on Ancestry.ca Not sure if this is of any help or not.
