Looking for the James M. Manson family (my great grandparents). James worked for the Turkey Red Dye Works from about 1888 to 1912. He was involved in the strike of 1911. James removed to Edmonton, Alberta in 1912 to work on the construction of several buildings and bridges for the new capital city of the new province. The rest of the family followed by 1914. James M.
