Aaron (also Aron) Chandler b 1877 Bradford Yorkshire UK - then in Glengarry Ont

[kiwicatz]

Aaron was younger son of Alfred and Charlotte (nee Parrot) Chandler. I do not know what year the family emigrated to Canada but it was between 1881 (when they were still living in Bradford, Yorkshire) and 1891 when they were in Glengarry, Ontario. In both 1891 and 1901 Aaron is living with his parents in Glengarry. I can't find him at all in the 1911 Census listing and would like some advice as to where to look next. I tried looking for a marriage, with no luck, and I checked the Cemetery Search, nothing there either. Are there any Death Indexes ionline that I haven't found?

Looks like the CHANDLER family had a thing for the letter "A"

According to the 1881 UK Census their children were Agnes, Alfred, Arthur, Amy and Aaron....

Hello Karenlee

Wow, what a goldmine!! And yes, the family had a thing about A's, as you pointed out Aaron's 4 siblings started with the letter A, and all 8 of his father Alfred's started with A as well. Look's like he broke the tradition naming his second child Charles. Alfred married but doesn't appear to have any children, he didn't marry till age 31.
The 3 Chandlers arriving on the 'Sarnia' the ages are right for the mother Charlotte, and the two sons, Alfred and Aaron. Perhaps the husbands went separately.
Do you know if the 1916 census is available to search - I'd just like to know if Aaron and Elizabeth had any other children.

Thank you so much for taking an interest in my query, I wish I afford Ancestry Canada, but I didn't know we had an relatives there that I didn't already know about. I am very, very grateful for your help.
Regards
Jan
