Our family have a 'gent' who left Plymouth UK in 1922 - leaving his wife and five children behind - to travel to Toronto.
He was a dentist, and on his papers he noted that he wasn't yet decided if he would be staying in Canada or not.
As he didn't ever return to his wife and children, we were wondering just where to look next for him in Canada.
He gave his destination as Toronto - to stay with his Brother in Law W.A. Cheslyn/Chesney (not too sure given the way it is written) @ 19 Irwin Avenue Toronto, which we have googled and found to be close to the University there which was founded in 1827, so at least part of it would have been standing at the time of his arrival.
Has Canada released any census from that time?
Are there Electoral rolls we could look at to establish his whereabouts?
Would there be a list of dentists in that particular area?
As I have never had to do any research in that part of the world before, I am at a loss as to where to look, so any pointers would be much appreciated.
His name was Alfred Dann - and we would like to know if he remarried out there and had any more children.
Thankyou
