Thank you Glitter Berry and Astra :).

It's interesting to see that he used the name George, I wonder why?. My grandfather apparently never spoke much about him.

Unfortunately we have only so far been able to find a copy of his marriage record from 1904.

Thanks again.

Thank you also to Alviegirl and Christina. Very interesting to see the military records.

We have not purchased his death certificate. How would we obtain it?


Thanks :)
