Thanks all for the input on my question re my relative's military records. Although he was discharged as medically unfir for further military service in 1916, he was (became?) healthy and lived until 1965.... Thom, if you can't find your Alex MacLeod in the 1911 census, don't get too worried. I have searched the 1911 census for the entire province of BC looking for a 15 year old brother of my grandfather. Strange, all the rest of the family is there - one even recorded twice - but a middle son is not. Missing one member of a family seems odd, but missing an entire family should have been just as easy. Incidentally, I did look for your MacLeods and the only thing I could find is that the MacIntyre family that were next door, still seemed to be in the same place in Gabarus in 1911. Happy hunting
