Silly me - forgot - Census for 1881 and 1891 were pulped during the First World War.  :-\

Sure polarbear didn't mind me sending you the obit for Joseph and find a grave link for your records.

The obit for Herbert William Joseph Stewart was on the same link I gave you but did you know Flight Lieutenant Stewart given the D F C.  (I will include it in case you haven't got it. I know you like to collect all the newspaper clippings if you can  :)

Pleased to be able to help.

Alexander is very elusive, that’s for sure.

Thank you very much sandra,it was very interesting to click on the first census,it saying that they lived in Mont royal,I believe there is a huge cemetery here,I looked at 3 graves with the name Alexander Stewart here, who died around the 1940s or 50s,unfortunately they all had death dates but not birth dates,I did try contacting this cemetery about birth dates and birth locations,unfortunately never heard back from them,very interesting though,thank you Sandra

I tried to match the Alexander burial/death dates to newspapers for clues. Some of which we could discount.

We have no idea if he might have married again without a divorce - amazing how many did !!

FIND A GRAVE  Maybe discount this one.

died 1 June 1957 - Alexander Stewart

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108957045/alexander-stewart

might be this one.......

There was this one who died aged 66 years in 1958 - aged 66 years - which wouldn't quite match up age wise.  This chap was a retired CNR police inspector.
