The Canadian Connection

Every family has a nomad in it's midst, one who decides to pack his bags and try his luck in far flung places....and ours was no exception. Fred & Jessica Robertson had one by the name of Charles, brother of Arthur, Jim, Ivor, Elsie and Daisey. Born on 20th September 1910 in Cardiff, Wales, he decided in about his nineteenth year to emigrate to the land of snow, moose, men who walk along rivers on logs and mounted policemen in funny hats.......Canada. He went with a man named John Revell, who little seems to be known, I just presume he was also from Cardiff.  I have secured the help of Eleanor Johnston, one of Charlies daughters, who kindly sent some photos and information. Don't hesitate to let me know if there is something wrong or missing from the information. Enjoy
