Harry Isles, Firdale, Manitoba 1909
« on: Tuesday 13 March 18 09:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm hoping for some help in finding out more about my 1st cousin 3x removed Harry Isles.

I have found a newspaper artical about his death in 1909, with some fab information stating..
   'The deceased took a very prominent part in the Templar movement in the Dominion, that 'The Royal Templar' says the bereavement which has overtaken the council of the death of it's founder..
    Also that he was made the 1st P.C

Sadly he was only 26 when he died.
His father also Harry Isles was the postmaster in Firdale at the time.

I'm in the UK and have no idea how or what other information I could find out?

Any help would be much appreciated

Liz

Hi

I had problems finding info on some of my ancestral relatives in Manitoba because of lack of records but there's a lot more on line now. I had lots of help from RC Canadian members  :)

In the 1901 census, the family were living Macdonald, Manitoba.  They appear to have arrived in Canada in 1891/2

Harry Isles, 46, b. England, arrived 1891,Methodist, farmer
Eleanor, 48, arrived 1892, -do-
William, 20  -do-
Harry, 17, -do-
Eleanor, 13, b. Scotland, -do-

An online tree has his mother as Eleanor Traynor or Tranner.

The online tree has him born in Berwick on Tweed, July 1883.

In 1891 they were in Edinburgh, St Cuthbert.

Do you have access to UK records?

Hi Gadget

Thank you for having a look for my family.

I have only just found out about Eleanor Trainer name as Tranner. Just shows how names can change.
I did know the other facts, but thank you again (I should of added everything that I had known about them)

What had caught my eye, was Harry Isles been known as the founder of a templarism movement in Firdale.
Then also being the 1st P.C according to the newspaper artical.

Now I'm wondering if I could find the grave stone if one was put in place of Harry Isles, Eleanor Trainer/Tranner
