William G Cowling (1877)
William George Cowling was born 27 Sep 1877 in Devon, England. He sailed for Canada in 1904, landing in Montreal on 5 June. His declared destination was Toronto. He was unmarried and his occupation was stone mason/bricklayer. That is the last record of him that I have been able to trace.
His brother, John, travelled to Canada three times between 1911-14 and visited St Thomas, Elgin West; London; Cobalt and North Bay, Ontario but I have no idea if he had any contact with William.
I would welcome any help in my efforts to determine William's destiny

Hi Vic, Have you considered that he may have returned to England.

Yes, Carolyn, I have but I can find no record of him on 1911 census or his marriage/death on BMD

Thanks for that, Debby, but unfortunately that is not my man. His father, Henry, died in India in 1888 and his mother, Mary Ann (Doidge) remained in UK until her death in 1918. I think this man was born in Canada.
I should have mentioned in my earlier reply to Carolyn that I have not traced his return to UK on any passenger list and he was not named in his mother's will (neither were some of his other siblings)

Sorry. William's parents were Henry and Mary Ann, not William and Elizabeth.
