Hello In my continuing search for Edward SNELSON and Elizabeth Anne FRY who were married in Oaklake, Manitoba on 26 August, 1888, I have found a connection to a John Snelson in Australia. He has told me a small amount of information concerning this couple and their son Walter Edward SNELSON. Walter Edward SNELSON was born February 1903 in Canada and died July 6, 1973.in Canada Walter Edward SNELSON married Edith TOWSON at an unknown place and date. Edward SNELSON was born in Cheshire in 1859 and died 16 December 1953 in Canada Elizabeth Anne FRY was born in London, England in 1856 and died 21 June, 1943 in Canada. I have done very little research in Canada as I am first generation Canadian from England myself and most of my genealogical research has been in England. Could someone point me in the right direction to confirm the information given above. I would assume that these events all took place in Manitoba (as a first guess, anyhow). Edward Snelson was given Land Grants at NW and SW Section 6, Township 9, Range 25, W1. I have ordered the microfilm referring to this grant from the National Archives but have not received anything in three months. I hear this is not unusual. Can anyone tell me what information the film might give me. I have no idea. I am especially interested in a date. Will it tell me if he ever was granted the land? Any ideas on this gratefully received. Audrey in Ingersoll, Ontario.
