Thanks for your help. My grandfather and grandmother names come a marriage contract signed in Montreal in 1933, the year my mother and father married. He states "Anthony Dowling son of the late Frederick Dowling and Marjorie Harcourt his wife. I was born in August 1934. This is the only mention I have. According to the form filled out in 1940 for the Canadian Government , he claims to have been a staff sergeant medical core, attached to headquarters. Claims to have joined in 1914 August, and left in 1919 [no month] Worked his way back to England as a stoker. His immigration papers to Canada show that he was born in Calcutta and that his mother and father were also from Calcutta. I would like to connect Anthony with Frederick. I trace Frederick from Calcutta " hide merchant', "Thackers" no baptism record to his death in USA. Please ask for more details as they come up. Regards E.P.Dowling
