Do you know his wife's name, and his year and place of birth?

Have you looked to see if he is in any trees on here or e.g ancestry?

Thank-you

Why are you unsure of his birth year?

You should be able to find the info on freebmd.

If he was your father's full brother, you'll know their mother's maiden name

Sorry for delay in replying.

Unfortunately do not know Johns wifes name or even when they went to Canada . can only assume late 40s early 50s.

John was born in 1924 and mothers maiden name was Crook . first name Mary and fathers name was Joseph.

Have you looked for John's marriage?


Have you looked for births of children?
You know their names, so should be easy enough to find.

There is quite a lot you can do yourself to establish the facts

If the above is the right family, it's hardly likely that a child would be born to that mother in 1924
