Q - Gerald married Ivy (nee Knittel) - Winnipeg Man

[ankerpep_52]

Gerald was born abt 1901 in Montreal & married to Ivy (nee Knittel) born abt 1903 Winnipeg Man.
In 1929 they resided at 2150 Yonge St, Toronto ON.  Could you please check the City Directory for
that address for that year. (Dirctory was printed in 1930 for the 29 yr.) to obtain the correct spelling of Geralds surname.  I believe they moved from Toronto to Montreal shortly after she gave birth to twin boys of which 1 died.   Possibly check the census for 1930 or 31. to see if they are still listed somewhere in  Toronto.  Your help is much appreciated as I have tried to locate this man and without his proper spelling of the surname it is difficult. Thank you (Janet)

I’ll let you do the looking as I have no idea what the incorrect spelling might be of Gerald’s surname.
Does it begin with Q?

Canadian census cannot be released until some 92 years after it has been recorded, so  we will have to wait until 2023 before the next release is due.
