It seems Joseph enlisted 24/2/1916. He was over the age limit, so he lied abt his age - possibly used a sibling's d.o.b.
His atestation papers show his n.o.k was his wife, Mrs Alice Sheward of 50 Lappin Ave, Toronto
[It's now abt 3km W of Univ of T's campus, just W of Dufferin and S of the Galleria on Dupont - it's also witness Ivy's addy on Evelyn's marr]

His full service record is available via:
http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=226573
It shows he was discharged in Canada (Camp Borden) 5 m later as medically unfit (due to being overage).

Using http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/searchmapframes.php
In particular:
http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/Images/Maps/TownshipMaps/gre-m-artemesia.jpg
We want the SE corner of the twp - note concession #s 1-3 are duplicated.
The dividing line between the duplicates is the concession road running E from Priceville (actually ENE - check the compass rose in top-left of map)
On a modern map this concession rd is called "Durham Rd B"
This suggests the abbrev's "NDR" and "SDR" appearing in 1901 Sched 2 refer to North/South of the Durham (concesstion) Rd.

Looking at Priceville ON on https://www.google.ca/maps and using the satellite view, it's easy to see the land just E of Priceville is gridded by the concession and line rds into 2km squares (1.25m sqs)
Now 1 chain = 22 yards, 1 mile = 80 chains, 1 acre = 10 sq chains
Thus 1.25 miles = 100 chns, so the lots in the SE corner are 10 chns x 100 chns with area 1000 sq chns = 100 acres.
1901 Sched 2 says Joseph has 83 acres - presumably 2 side by side 50 acre lots with a chunk taken out by the lake

Hi Nala, I just wanted to mention that whenever you see a name in square brackets in the Ancestry records copied in this thread, it means that an Ancestry user has made the correction.

Sometimes the people who make corrections are not related (e.g., for my people, somebody just corrects all the "Corper"s to "Cooper"). But I would think that in your cases, the corrections have been made by someone who knows the family.

You can contact the user(s) through the Ancestry system (hoping that they are still active users with valid email addresses in their accounts). If you are not a subscriber, you can take out a free trial membership at any of the Ancestry sites, and include your email address when you send a message.

Well done, Maddie and MargaretM :-)
