Paul, you don't happen to have a Sidney B. True, born 6 May, 1871 England in your tree?

I would go with Barbeau being the correct spelling for sure, Ancestry makes a terrible hash of the information in the Ontario BMD registers. Perhaps Dee or someone would check the image to be sure.

I would imagine that the Barbour's and Barbeau's are the same people Dee - I'm certainly working on that being the case.

I wonder if the pallbearer Albert Barbeau is the same chap that one of the girls married Albert Barbour??

Thanks Margaret - I cannot believe the information I've got from this one question

From Niagara Falls Gazette, 29 Jan. 1935"
Niagara Falls, Ontario:
Funeral services held for Maria True, widow of Thomas True yesterday. Interment Fairview Cemetery. Pallbearers Albert Barbeau, William Barbeau, Hugh Jenkins, John Roberts, William Barbeau Jr. and George Atkinson Jr.

You are a star Dee - yes the Jane Ethel will tie in with the Manchester marriage in 1920

Prior to his marriage;

Hi Paul,

looks like there is a Jane Ethel travelling with Thomas Jnr, would that tie in??? the original image for that record is very poor.

Both father and son enlisted for WW1 in Canada:

Can I assume Dee, on that last post of Thomas returning to Canada, he had a wife with him? The last I can find of this family is Thomas (junior) marrying in Manchester in the 1st quarter of 1920 - which would fit in with him going back in April.
