St Thomas in Elgin Co, Ont is abt 30km S of London - say 200km from Detroit and 150 km from Hamilton

I don't know if Karl is anything to do with anything, but Simcoe Co is the Co between L Simcoe (50-80 km N of Toronto) and Nottawasaga Bay, the S end of Georgian Bay on L Huron. Stayner is 6km S of the S tip of the bay.

Ginny - I think debarred isn't the same as deported.
If you're deported, you're kicked out of the country, but this is a record from a port of entry, so I think debarred probably means they were denied entry.

Dea

Not wishing to blow all our trumpets but.....The A Team at its best!!

OK sorry, I know there are a lot more of you out there, but I get soo excited!

Ginny, the marriage you have found for Augustus + Fanny (Smith) seems to confirm that the marriage on page 1 posted by mgnv for Frederick William to Violet Agnes ROWE in 1922 is a definate for Albert's brother Frederick W.

..................

Ginny,

I am tempted to pm Margery and let her know that all this 'lovely' info is sitting on her thread but I think that perhaps you should have that pleasure as it was you who put in all the hard work, particularly at the beginning.

She said she is new and it would be a shame if she didn't know how to find her thread ??
