I just found his death cert and sure enough it lists Leonard Wear as his father and Ann as his mother. I also found on the 1881 NS Canada census Allister with the same parents. I have a pic of him and a photocopy of his sister Angelina Wear Blackburn. I also have a copy few letters from 1923 that Angelina wrote. I dont' know about Lorenzo but would love to learn and add his info to my data base. I will share what I have but it sounds like you have about the same. Thank you Denise
