Hi Maureen,Shelly and Sandra,
What can I say,many thanks for all your efforts and more importantly  results.Robert,s older brother went to Scotland and his name changed to McPherson, so possibly Robert came to Canada via Scotland and adopted the Scots version of his name.
Sandra where is the WW2 draft listed?
Thanks from Ireland
