If you care to post a name we could see if we can find his arrival in Canada and possibly his siblings.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Ancestry have WW1 military records for UK servicemen. You can search for them on the National Archives, although you are redirected to view - ask for help, giving names dates etc on Find Ancestors.

If the records survive (a number were destroyed in WW2 bombing) they may mention children and spouses.

Then (in the UK) you can look for subsequent marriages and offspring on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Have you searched for the Canadian deceased on http://www.cwgc.org/debt_of_honour.asp?menuid=14? The record may give the name and address of the next of kin.

Hi Can anyone help. I am researching the grave of a Canadian Soldier buried in MIldenhall, Suffolk. Originally he was a local moved but moved to Canada with his wife and 2 children. He had 5 brothers and a sister and want to try and find out if the brothers served in the armed forces and what happened to his children and if they have any surviving relatives. Can anyone help, not sure where to start.
Cheers
