Walter Knowles Self (Head)
Mary Ann Hatchman

NOK Isaac Knowles - Bolton

He was single when he went out to Canada so maybe he stayed there.

Kath. x

I am trying to find information about Walter Knowles who emigrated to Canada in 1911, sailing from Liverpool to Halifax on the Megantic, a ship of the White Star-Dominion line. He was 22 years old and a compositor by trade.

This Walter Knowles (there are many of them) was born in Bolton, Lancashire, UK, in 1889, the son of Isaac Knowles and his wife Sarah nee Silk. I can find no suitable marriage or death for him in the UK.

Please can anyone help?
