What do you know about Nellie Beatrice? its possible Violet was 'her' child, either illegitimate or from an earlier marriage? and this 'could' explain why we can't find a birth reg? 6th Census of Canada 1921 Province: Ontario District No: 132 Enumeration Sub District : No 65 in: Toronto North (Ward 5) Page: 12 Line 15 Dwelling Number: 122 Household Number: 134 Name: Lenton Frank (transcribed as "Grady”, good old ancestry!)
