Ancestry doesn't show them on voters' lists after 1921, as far as we (including Maddie) can see.

Albert's birth is there, but I haven't posted it, (nor has anyone else) as Maddie already has that, I've assumed. However, as mgnv has mentioned it, here it is, just for ref.


Albert Williamson
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Albert Williamson
Event: Baptême (Baptism)
Baptism Year: 1914
Baptism Location: Côte-St-Paul, Québec (Quebec)


Williamson, Albert, son of Percy Williamson, of the City and District of Montreal, in the province of Quebec, iron worker, and of his wife Mary Gallimore, was born on the ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nine thousand one hundred and fourteen, and was baptised on the seventeenth day of May, in the same year, by me.
G A Mason, Rector.

In the presence of: Percy Williamson; George Harry Travis; Sarah Barton; Mary Williamson.

WILLIAMSON, MARY - Born: 1879 | Died: 1952

http://bibnum2.bnquebec.ca/bna/lovell/
1931-1932 (p224) Williamson, Mrs M wid P 6054 Mazarin
[In the street section (p154), there's just one householder at 6054, which lies N of Jolicouer.
From http://maps.google.com/ it's on the E side of street, abt 400m S of Lachine Canal, in Ville-Émard.. It's also 1 block E of Rue Jacques.]

1939-1940 (p269) Williamson, Mrs Mary wid Percy 6282 Beaulieu
Williamson, Alb lab 6282 Beaulieu
Williamson, Harry emp Imp Tobacco 6270 Beaulieu
[In the street section, it just lists Mrs M at 6282, but at 6270 it lists Harry plus:
Nash, Mrs J wid J
I really should read the intro bits to see if it says who gets listed here]
[Beaulieu is 5 blocks E of Mazarin (abt 400m), and both houses are just S of Jolicouer]

I've not checked other years, and I don't have an Ancestry sub, so I've not checked the voters' lists nor the Drouin collection (which should have Albert's birth, at least).

If you need the 1921 image, post on this thread or send me a pm
