I have found my great uncle George Frederick Brundrett had a homestead in Alberta before 1930. I think it is around the Calgary region but am not sure.
the details are
Part NE
Section 22
Township 27
Range 17
Meridian 4 - which is Alberta region.
I have looked on the library of Canada website and found this information and it says volume/libor 856 which is Feb-June 1920 for the land being granted which is after he died in WW1.( the form say the late George Frederick Brundrett) His father George Brundrett is also named.So i assume his father sorted out the land grant as he was next of kin.
the folio no is 120.
here is the link
I have looked at the Rosebud pages linked to this record but I really cant work out where he had the land as I dont know Canadian geography at all. On enlisting in Calgary in 1915 he said he was a clerk not a farmer.
I have also checked the post 1930 records and the same details seem to suggest that a Joseph Pugh owns the land. he is not a relation.
I have also been on abgensoc.ca which is the alberta genealogy society but cant really work out what to do.
I followed a link to archive.org for Alberta Homestead records but there are loads of microfilms and they do not seem to be in any particular order.
So if any one could please help I would like to know
1 where the land was/is , what town is is near? and what it is now eg arable, built on ?
2 do you think that George Brundrett senior sold off the land to Joseph Pugh?
3 anything else you can think of
I cant really afford to send off for the details so any information would be very gratefully received.
Thank you very much for reading this .
