General Notes
If they journeyed to North Bay, Ontario,Canada when William Drysdale Jeffrey was a few weeks old he would have been 36 and they would have travelled in the autumn of 1899. Grandpa says they left Canada in 1908 when he was nine yrs old due to his fathers ill health. This does not tie in as his father died in 1900. He was also looking for his brother Lawrence's grave who died in Canada. No one in the family knows about Lawrence??
His wife Jessie made a will in 1908.
