Find Ancestors

John appears at that address until 1952. Will try search for death around that time,
also possible marriage for May. Have already searched Ancestry without success.

true mgnv, since I hadn't had any luck with the voter's list after that year :-)

By doing that address search, Heather, you could hopefully determine when/whether they moved, or John died and Mary remained, for instance.

We do know at least that John consistendly did use his middle initial, so it's one way of distinguishing him.

It wouldn't be unusual to swap an occupation for a better paying one after emigration, for instance.

JC - I know. I deliberately picked your ER year as I knew what I expected to find.
The real point of my post was to illustrate how one could use this free resource to track him whilst he was in Montréal.

Thank you for info and link,I will explore this tonight. Unless middle names are included the names seem to be very common combinations. In Scotland John was a
Telephone Wireman but certainly could be a change of occupation.
Middle names John Westland, Mary Armstrong and May Findlay.
Apologies if I did not appear very interested, this is so far from the case.
Heather

and that's the same info as on the 1945 electoral list I posted above ... but Heather didn't seem too interested. ;-)

Lovell's directory is at:

Pick Montréal et sa banlieue [Montréal & its suburbs]
then a year, e.g., 1945
then a name lookup - Annuaire alphabétique montréalais

Stuart J W sheet metal wrk TCA 3846 Wellgtn (V)
[TCA was his employer - his addy is 3846 Wellington (Verdun)]

Only workers get listed, or, in their absence. the head of h/h.
NB Women can be alphabeticized under M for Miss/Mrs

To check for non-Stuarts in the h/h, we do an address lookup in - Annuaire montréalais des rues. All that shows up is:
Wellington 3846 Stuart J W

I'll leave it to you to work back and forward from 1945.

I did wonder if Agnes was a niece rather than daughter, will try and check this out
On Scotland's People. Thanks very much for help meantime. Needle and haystack comes to mind!

John W Stuart in the Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980

Name: John W Stuart
Occupation: Sheet Metal Worker
Year: 1945
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Electoral District: Verdun

John and Mrs John, 3846 Wellington St, Verdun

women were listed by their own names starting in the 50s, but unless Mary was with John it could be impossible to identify which Mary Stuart she was ... they were numerous in the Montreal region, and the family could have moved elsewhere

If Agnes is 15 in 1927, she is not John's daughter.

Thanks again for your help. Definitely right family now to find out where they
went in Canada.

May with mother Mary, 30 and sister Agnes, 15. Going to join father John Stuart, c/o Mrs. Rae, 827 Convent St., St. Henry, Montreal, Quebec.

Change your title to include - now need help in Canada - so you can get more local help, more strict on privacy there, also.

Thanks for help. Think I may have found them on Canada Passenger lists.

from there if same family Heather

Yes, thankyou- I deleted as soon as I realised!

May Findlay Stuart 1921 Woodside, Aberdeen City.

Same place as marriage

I think that's the marriage Austin. SP indexes don't give the mother's full name on indexes.

This is very possible as Mary's mother's name was Betsy

Also a Charles (named after grandfather?) in Montrose, Angus in 1922.
Would have to order certs as hundred year thing. Both names sound very
Promising.

Findlay Stuart 1921?

will try that. thanks

Have you looked for possible births for any children, possibly in Aberdeen in 1921, surname Stuart, associated name Findlay. (Sorry, not used to scotlandspeople site so hope have found one)

Added: Think I have gone wrong, got 429 matches when I increased the search years.
