	I believe there are passenger lists but I don't have access. Jim? Just found a birth of George Kelly. 11 Aug. 1891, Portage la Prairie. Date the same but year wrong. Mother's maiden name Anna Bella Mulligan.

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 686 Send Message	I think with what was written on the paper he probably was some sort of officer. is there any immigrations lists etc for boats around that we can access? there might be some more details there.
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,482 Send Message	MargaretM	Report	27 Dec 2007 16:41
	Can't tell if he was an officer. The paper was stamped "Machine Gun Corps. C.L.F., M.D.2" and D. Coy written on it. He was born 11 Aug. 1892, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Next-of-kin was mother, Hannah Bella Kelly of Sandy Lake, Manitoba.

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 686 Send Message	It could be him? the letter she wrote to some one in 1984, said she was a widow. So he could have been older. I think i should buy the certificate!!! im being lazy
