  • Notes 
    • EMMIGRATED TO CANADA 1891 INNISFAIL (POPLAR GROVE) TO HOMESTEAD 7 MAR 1992 Auntie Gladys quote: Grampa and Uncle Will came together and got a farm on 14 th street. Then Gramma and the three girls came. The family went to Innisfail. Will counldn't get the land he wanted so he came back to Airdrie. Grampa was a butcher in England and after a few years sold the land at Innisfail and moved to Airdrie too. He operated a slaughter house and butcher shop. It was later burned with the house. It was thought a spark from the train ignighted the hay in the loft of the slaughter house and everything burned.
