Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten that I posted that. Still looking for their deaths. I believe there is a 1921 census available now?

I know I got the son's army records from a Canadian site, but I have forgotten which one. If I remember I could get those for the father which would probably . Ernest said he served with the British in South Africa, but I couldn't find him.

Researching Palmer.

I am looking for Ernest Palmer b 1867 South Norwood and his wife.
Elizabeth Louisa Palmer, formerly Plested née Grimes b. 1850, Norwich and son
Charles Kenneth Alexander b 1890 S. Norwood.
They emigrated to Canada in 1902, not 1892 and 1904 as in the 1911 Canadian census.
Charles served in the CEF in Europe but was given compassionate discharge in 1919, I suspect because his father died. (I have his army records) Ernest served in the army in Canada but was invalided out with Pneumonia and arthritis. He was re-attested to undergo further treatment.
Charles married Marie Désirée Piret in the RC Church Huntsville 1920.
I am searching for the deaths of Ernest, Elizabeth and Marie, and any children the latter may have had.
Note: 1. they regularly lie about their age, 2. The names of Marie and Elizabeth are spelled incorrectly on their marriage cert.
