Can anybody help me with a Canadian Census look up please.

I have a William Tom Grover born 1885 in London. He joined the army and was posted to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1908 he married a Catherine Murphy in Canada, she is down as being born in Canada in 1884. They had their first son in 1909 and I was given an address of 20 Dresden Row, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada which is where he was born (I think). He served in the Canadian Garrison Artillery. In 1918 they were still in Canada and he was at Sundwich Battery, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. By 1921 they were back in London. I was wondering if anyone could have a look on the 1911 census for me to see if they can find them?

Thank you.

Thanks Gillian I didn't know that, it was only a long shot as he was in the british forces at the time so am unsure he will be on the Canadian Census.

Thanks anyway, I'm just trawling through Catherines family now, they were Murphy's.

Hi Lynne

Thanks for that, I had already found that. I was trying to find them on the 1911 census but have given up for now.

Thanks for all your help. My search continues.

Hi there Daniel - you've dug up a very old posting here - poster unlikely to be looking for replies after such a long time - suggest you click on poster's name to send a message via the site - if she still has the same email she should get it
