Short obit in the Globe and Mail for George.  It says George Leggatt Aiken died at Toronto on March 11 1938.  Husband of the late Mary Jane McGuire.  Late of 121 Normandy Blvd..  In his 81st year.

OOPS - didn't see that the findagrave has this!!   The notice is from the Globe and Mail newspaper 12 March 1938, page 26

Good one, Sandra!

Must say that PB has a good point about Ogdensburg,though!

Freezing cold here (well-chilly- but it's the end of May!).

EDIT: And I missed a few posts.

Spelling - didn't help - did it   

Being on the two census taken 1 day apart - strange as well.

I swear I'll get back to RC time.

Yes-both supposedly in April 1881. Granted there are no outgoing UK records but you would think he should be on an incoming one!

UK return started 1878 but there are so few of them and they give such little information.  Of course he could have come in between 1871 - 1878 anyway.
 

Sun would be welcome, went out and got in position in my chair and the big cloud covered it up 
So here I am, back again.

I meant back to the US or Canada.
