Find Ancestors

Thanks Margee, I guess this is not my Harold. His wife was Violet and I have them on other voter's lists but he left the family and I was hoping to find him and where he died.

This site has a listing of articles in the St. Thomas Time-Journal. There's a photo of Harold Oliver's 4th. birthday in 1928. He was the son of George E. & Lillian Oliver nee Cochram. Sounds like the fellow on the voter's list.

Hard to pinpoint the others without a city name, too many Harold Olivers.

Hi

Could someone please look at the Canada Voter's List for Harold Oliver in
1962 Elgin
1963 city, Ontario
1965 city, Ontario
1972 Elgin
1972 city, Ontario

Thanks

In trying to find more info on Harold Marshall Oliver, I looked at the US census to see if I could find his family. In the 1930 US census I found an H. M. Oliver with parents Harry H. Oliver and Anna Oliver, and siblings. It gives his father born in Canada and his mother born in Yugoslavia. Assuming this is the correct family I looked at the 1940 census and found his parents and one of his siblings but no Harold. I suspect he was overseas as we know he was in the Canadian military during the war and met and married his wife in England. I then looked at the 1920 census to see if Harold's parents were in the USA but the only Harry Oliver I could find was married to a Myrtle (born in Michigan). It gives Harry born in Canada, with same occupation and living with them are two of the children shown in the 1930 census. If this is the correct family and not just a big coincidence, what happened to Myrtle and when did Anna come into the picture.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Good morning. Thanks for looking ... it's definitely a mystery. We have nothing to go on except say so. He's got to be somewhere but I have to admit it's got me beat. I'll keep looking though, something may turn up.
Thanks again for all your help.

I've searched high & low for a death for Harold with no luck. I've used both names Harold and Marshall, even tried the Last Post section of the Legion Magazine where deaths of former soldiers are listed.

Would there be a reference to a death for Harold Oliver in 1974 or 1975, possibly in the London area (Ontario).

Thanks.

Thanks so much for this Margee, I really appreciate you taking the time. The Welland one is definitely not mine but the other 1972 is.

Thanks again.

She's alone here at 86 Ottawa Crescent:

Edit: Scratch this one. I got my Welland and Wellington mixed up. Senior moment, you know!

Address for the whole page here is RR#1 Welland and names are in alphabetical order so don't know if they're living together. There are 2 Olivers, Mrs. Violet, stock clerk and Miss Cindy, waitress.

Thanks so much Margee, this is wonderful. Looking again at the Voters' List I notice that Violet is shown in the 1963/1965/1968/1972 and 1974 years but I can only see Harold in the 1968. Would it be too much to ask if you could have a look at those years for me. If you don't have the time I quite understand.

Thanks.
