Hello list, I am writing on behalf of a friend, Mr. Harry Halliday, 97 years of age, who lives in England. His brother William Charles Halliday came to England sometime after 1901 possibly as a home child. He enlisted in the CEF in 1914, and joined the Manitoba Regiment. He was killed in 1917. His enlistment papers say he was a locomotive fireman, and he signed up in Port Arthur, Ontario. Harry would like to know where his brother was living before he enlisted. Could anyone with pre-war directories for cities such as Winnipeg please give them a scan for William Halliday?

I had been hoping to find a May Manton who worked in Winnipeg around the turn of the century Now I find out that her name was Edith May Manton B: 1881 4th Quarter Warwick, England. I previously paid to have the Manitoba Genealogical Society's Master Index to the M.G.S., cemetery transcriptions checked for the name May Manton. Now I have learned her name was Edith May Manton. Family told me she died of Typhoid around 1901 but I have since found out that she was living at The Hudson's Bay Residence, Winnipeg, 1905. Could SKS tell me if there is any listing of an EDITH MAY MANTON in WINNIPEG records or cemeteries. Any help would be appreciated. Kathy Hodson British Columbia
