Who is this boy?

[Rosinish]

My initial thought for the name was....in a foreign accent 
Buchan Gorten (Gordon) Harry or Henry

Does anyone know what the pronunciation of George would be in German (by Enumerator)?

I found this birth............in Lancashire, UK not too far from Newcastle, UK

If this lad was brought up initially in Newcastle he may have believed it to be his place of birth

Scraping the barrel but one never knows 


Name: George Henry Buchan
Registration Year: 1893
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration district: West Derby
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 384

On a census would read: Buchan George Henry

Georg in German is pronounced GAY-org. Both Gs are hard.

Have found a George Henry Buchan on the 1901 UK census and on the following UK census in Kirkdale, West Derby, Lancashire.

I think that would be an embarrassment of riches... our guy can't be in both 1901 UK and Canadian censuses...

Although I have a great-grandfather who emigrated in 1871 and MISSED both

Aha...border crossing Morristown NY in 1918...Michael H Reuben age 29, machinist, from Northumberland, arrived Aug 1900 Montreal, destination Watertown, relative in country whence alien came: father-in-law Albert Tanney, something Corners Ont.

I guess it's Four Corners, although it looks like Rour. Now part of Toronto (Tranna if you're Canadian  )

I think this is Michael Henry's WW1 draft reg. b. August 1, 1889, Newcastle, Northumberland
living in Watertown, NY.....says he served 7 years as a private, infantry, with the Dominion
of Canada.

I am not finding attestation papers on A*, and LAC isn't working for me. Can someone
see if they can find his papers, would love to know his nok.

I have lived here most of my life and have never pronounced it Tranna.  Maybe the enumerator we're looking at would have.

What? Not Tranna the Good? Hogtown?
