I have found an address in a 1906 diary, belong to my great grandfather, for Evan Lloyd, Ponoka, Alberta, Canada

I have an Evan Lloyd born 1861 Huntington, Herefordshire. He was the nephew of my great grandfather. My last found census entry for him was living in Huntington in 1881. (Parents Evan and Ann [nee Evans])

There is a family story that somebody emigrated to Canada. I wonder if somebody could search Canadian Immigration for me.

Thanks

As a geographical aid, try look up of Ponoka:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/001001-100.01-e.php
Ponoka-Railway Station NW Sec. 4, Twp. 43, R. 25, W4M
So S9SW would be next quarter section (=160 acres) to N.



Try a look up of Iowa BMDs at:

A look up of Evan in Iowa in the US 1900 will get you the image (in left column)

Monona Co is on the Mississippi, abt 50 m N of Omaha.
Ponoka is 30 m N of Red Deer.

Thank you mgnv. I will take a look at all those.

Thought you guys might like to know that this is the right person !

Once again thanks for all your help.
