Thanks so much to all of you for your quick and informative replies. I have learned a lot about Canadian sources! I can fill in one or two of the gaps or queries. Charles was born in Ballymote, Sligo, but lived most of his early life in Dublin. His father was in the Army and his mother traveled with her husband round Ireland, so her children were born in many different places. There has been much cross-over or confusion in records and transcriptions between MEYERS and MYERS, so that discrepancy does not bother me too much. The marriage to Gertrude WALKER appears correct and the only family recollection I have of his marriage was so fanciful I discarded it long ago. Like poster Eileen, I suspect the name Patrick was added when he became a Catholic, with the custom being to add a saint's name at Confirmation (we had the same problem with my father!). Alternatively, as an Irishman he may have been referred to as Paddy or Pat so often that he adopted the name. He did live in Montreal probably until 1940s because my aunt can remember him sending food parcels to his brother in England during the War, but I think we can assume the 1960s electoral roll entries were another person. It seems that he and Gertrude may have returned to NB when he retired. The cemetery record seems conclusive about his death, although his brother (my grandfather) who died in 1968 thinks Charles had died before him. Possibly Charles was very ill at that time and not able to communicate, or Grandpa nay have been a little confused. I'll keep a look out for the next release of death records. Thank you all again.
