James Brelsford in Canada

[Maisy]

I'm searching for any information about James Brelsford born possibly in Wales between 1915/1920 who emigrated to Canada in the late 1940's up to mid 1950's. I understand he married in Canada. Apologies for being vague with the detail.

Thank you
Maisy

If he didnt go to Canada until the late 1940's has he been found on the UK 1939 register? Im not finding anything on him, do you have any more info, sometimes the tiniest bit can help.

Looks like three possible births all with a middle initial - H and A and F.

Anc. has this, Gibbo.. Not sure it helps much, apart from the Scottish embarkation.

I did see that one, Keith, not a lot of info on it, but also possibly married a Catherine first. The tree has the marriage to Edith 1965 or later.

EDIT: He may not have married a Catherine first, that was a James G Brelsford. So that may be a possible, Keith.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and searches. An elderly relative has suggested that Edith was Irish and she was living in Ireland before emigrating. That's all the information there is.

 

[gibbo]

Maisy what sort of information are you looking for?

 

[Maisy]

Gibbo, I requested any information concerning James Brelsford who emigrated to Canada. It was Geoff who discovered a Canada voter’s list mentioning the name of Edith. I am grateful for that answer. Even the Family Search you posted was of interest to me. My request for any information concerning James might have included for example, passage to Canada, address details, marriage, children, occupation etc. Hope this is a sufficient answer to your question.
