I've just started research on Fred, an uncle of my father's, who emigrated from England to the New World in the early 20th Century. My Dad's memory is failing a bit now but he remembers Fred being a farmer in Canada and also serving in the Canadian Forces during WWII (chaplain?).
I've traced his brothers Charles and William as arriving in New York onboard SS Caronia on May 29th 1912. Charles moved on to Big Rapids Michigan and William to Oregon.
We don't know what year Frederick travelled and whether he emigrated directly to Canada or via New York and then moved up. I have looked at the Canadian Censuses on line but they finish at 1911. I've also looked at the immigration passenger lists but you can't search by individual.
So, this is a bit of a long shot but hoping someone may have some info or advice. Many thanks.
