Find Ancestors

Please can someone see if they can find a death for Walter grey b 1871 in Thornton, lincolnshire and his wife Martha Grey b c1877 in Grasby Lincolnshire. They moved to Quebec in 1912. On the 1921 census they were living in York Township, York South Ontario. He was working as a Tea master.

They had a son Frank Henry Grey born 1902 in Bullwell Nottingham .

Frank emigrated to Canada where he married Marjorie Jeanette Gerrie on 31 October 1923.

This is the last trace I have of this family.

Thanks for your help

Hi Richard and Grumpy

Martha was born in Grasby lincs about 1877/8 and Frank was born 1902 in Nottingham. Walter was born 1870 in Thornton Lincs.

I hope this helps. I wonder why Walter is not with Martha and Frank. Could he have gone out earlier.

Thanks again

Jane

Thank you so much for that information. I had no idea who the missing two children were.

I can now update my records.

Thank you

Jane

Does something really say Tea master, rather than teamster (i.e., truck driver).

He is a teamster on the 1921.

Thanks for that MarieCeleste. I did google Tea Master and there is a course in Ontario where you can gain a tea masters qualification by studying different sorts of teas.

I agree that he's a teamster on the 21 census.

Thank you Margee. I will update my records. I must have misread it.

All the best
