Find Ancestors

Hi
Thomas Andrew vernon married Amy Elizabeth hill in Birmingham (1901) and had a son Sidney Thomas vernon b 1909. After the 1911 census they seem to disappear but ancestry show a Canadian connection? In the 1916 census. Is there someone who is able to check if this is the correct family before I subscribe to worldwide ancestry? Many thanks for your help.
Bye

[The enumerator's writing is hard to make out - I think his addy is Rue Jeffrey - it does meet Rue du Roi. Occup looks like Mercier i.e., haberdasher, but he is employed by the mine? - no prizes for guessing what they mined in Asbestos.]
Nominal date of 1911 census was 1/6/1911, but he was enumerated on 16/6/1911.
Asbestos is 140km E of Montreal & 80km SE of Trois Rivieres.


For 1916, look up District = Weyburn Sub-District # = 10 at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1916/index-e.html
You want Division B, page 25 of 27.
[There's a "C" in col 4, i.e., Thos is not at home, but on active service somewhere in Canada. Most everyone else is on Weyburn Rd, but Thos is at Camp Hughes just E of Brandon MB - one of the main CEF training camps.]


As you'll see from a look up of his attestation papers on Margee's CEF URL, Thos was b 21/10/1876
Also, the Search help link tells you how you can purchase his service record, and has links to the unit war diaries of the 5th bn (part of the 2nd brigade of the 1st division).

James a=3 on 1/6/1916 could have been born in late 1912, so his b record could have been released today - his 1916 pob=Sask, and they have 100y closure on births - it won't be online yet, though.
