Find Ancestors

Hi there,
I'm looking for a Percival Fisher who was born in Leeds in 1887. I've found a couple of journeys to Canada in 1906 and 09 and wondered if he stayed there? I think his wife may be called Jennie.
I'd be so greatful for any help.
Thanks,
Edwina

Hello Edwina - where did you find these journeys?

I'm not seeing any arrivals in Canada for him ....

Do you know where he was on the 1901 census and who with? If we can confirm his identity from that we'll have a better chance of tracing him.

From Ancestry

I can't see the arival of a Percival Fisher in Canada either 1906 or 1909 on Ancestry.

In 1901 he was with his family at 18, Gipton Terrace, Leeds. His brother Louis travelled with him.

.. that's where I was looking!

I've also checked FMP for outgoing journeys.

Whoops......a senior moment!!!!!! His name is Reginald. Sorry.

Percival was not with his family in 1901:

EDIT: - I see above it was Reginald

Yes that's him.

Was just about to post the 1916 census that Maureen posted.
The index is mis transcribed. It does say REGINALD Fisher on the actual census
