Many thanks, Annette > > "ASHTON-REDLIN ANNETTE" <ashtonredlin@yahoo.co.uk> Annette - I am sending a copy of the census page to your personal address. All of it is very clear in my copy. A few things that may help - William states he immigrated in 1910, and was naturalized. If you can find his naturalization papers, they may tell you more. The problem there is that he could have gone to any local court for this process, and Somerville is close to both Cambridge & Boston. I am not familiar with the court locations. He says he was married at age 39, assuming that is correct, they won't be together in the 1920 census. According to the page, Brunette was born in Missouri. If she died in Vancouver, you should be able to get her death certificate from the archives there, and obtain her last name.

Re William in 1920 - not much luck there, except for this one - He is a boarder, not naturalized - employed as a Laborer for what looks like Carbounder? Maybe it's a company name. If he came through Canada, he could have made his way to Massachusetts by way of Niagara.
