Hi all…just found a newspaper clipping (minus the date) :( It states David Lord born 1889 Halifax, Yorkshire was travelling to Canada with his young with and child. They were aboard the Metagama. David died aboard the ship from pneumonia en route and was varied at sea. Is there anyway to get anymore info on this.

Cheers all and many thanks
Jo

Travelling with May 25 and Stanley 3. Very faint but on image it says died. He had previously been in Winnipeg, Canada for 1.5 years in 1912 according to the image

WOW!!!! Thanks so much :-) :-)

I think this is the brother David was going to in 1910:

John W Lord
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Married
Age: 37
Est. Birth Year: 1879
Birthplace: England
Year of Immigration: 1908
Home in 1916: 31, Winnipeg Centre, Manitoba
Address: Marjorie St
Racial or Tribal Origin: English
Relation to Head of Household: Self
Spouse's Name: Henrietta Lord
Sub District Desc.: That portion of the city of Winnipeg constituting the electoral district of Winnipeg Centre, as defined by the Representation Act, 1914
Household Members: Name Age
John W Lord 37
Henrietta Lord 40
Annie Lord 15
Eva Lord 7
David Lord 4

Only the youngest child born Canada. His trade on attestation papers is stone cutter, address was 550 Marjorie St, St James, Man. on 4/2/1915

John William Lord
Birth Date: 29 Sep 1878
Birth Location: Halifax, Yorkshire, England
Relative: Henrietta
Relationship: Wife
Regiment Number: 420990

Can't see what happened to David's wife or child after their arrival in Canada - they are not with any of the 3 brothers in 1921 - maybe they returned to England but can't see them on the passenger lists.

Thanks Flip, I wasn't yet aware of more Lords coming to Canada. My Mom has not talked about them. The James M Lord listed above I don't have him at all and thinking he could be a cousin. George H. Lord had a brother James Edward Lord born 1882 in Halifax, Yorkshire.

Thanks so much for your assistance

Cheers..

Following up on Flip's John:

Name: LORD, JOHN WILLIAM
Regimental number(s): 420990
Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 5740 - 20
Date of Birth: 29/09/1878
Attestation paper: Front of form - Back of form

1916
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/006003/t-21932/pdf/31228_4363961-01191.pdf
[Note the "O" in col 4 - he wasn't actually at home but serving Overseas]
[Also John came out a yr before his wife & daurs - a not unusual immigration pattern]

In 1921, John W is mistranscribed as John H - quite understandably. Their addy is S22 T2 R11 EPM.

Menisino Sec. 36, Twp. 1, R. 10, EPM - 1910-05-01
So John is 5m NE of Menisino and just 10m from the Minnesota border.
