Is there any way of getting info on George Williams born 1897 Calstock and Stanley Williams born 1900 Calstock weather or not they traveled to the USA or Canada, as I have possible matches on ancestry George Williams 1919-1924 Form 30A, and for Stanley Williams New York 1820-1957.
This looks like your George. It states on the ships list that his father Thomes Williams of 4 Orchard Cottage, Gunnislake is the nearest relative in the UK. The Family were living in Street address: South Dimson, Gunnislake in the 1911 census.
It also states he was going to his brother Charles in (looks like) GPO Tinamins Ont. Ont.
