Looking at https://maps.google.com/ Strasbourg's in Sec 25SW
I think there're a couple of buildings on his quarter section, but it gets blurry when I try to magnify enough to tell.

Perhaps this is why they went to Canada?

Is this the correct family or am I going way off line?

Yes Glitterbaby - sorry if i have repeated stuff i am a bit new to all of this.

Alviegal - yes saw the posts for family in Canada - not sure if it is mine or not , some of the names listed I am not aware of.

I do know that Frederick George (down as George on one of the census) born 1887/1888 was in the UK as he married in a place called Sheet, Nr Petersfield, Hampshire UK in 1923. He was my Grandfather. I have a copy of his marriage certificate and the original death certificate, he died in 1946 in a place called Fareham, Hampshire, England. My father was born in 1928 in a place called Steep, Nr Petersfield, Hampshire, UK.

Hi Angela. Have you noticed my posts above for the family in Canada in 1911?

BUT the same family was it not.

So members have duplicated some of the info already given

George death details could be the right one.

Glitterbaby - we were sort of but we were looking for Frederick Wallis (Walter) Bridger.

Interesting about Lily Bridger - from memory last info I have on her is in the 1901 census - haven't been able to find anything else.

Thanks for all your help.
