I am urgently looking for details on ALVIN HALE. He was in Montreal (Canada)
in the 1910’s and married a French Canadian woman, FLORIDA GAGNON, around 1914- 1915. Florida Gagnon was born on February 7, 1898 and died on February 11, 1970. Alvin and Florida had two children: a daughter, MARIE-LOUISE (could be another spelling) who died at two years old, and a son , PHILLIPE, who was born in 1917. Philippe Hale is my grandfather. He is now 84 years old. He never knew his father as Alvin left when he was 4. Alvin was never seen again by his Montreal family. Some says that he might have gone to Ottawa, other say that he was Irish or English and went back to his country. My grandfather always wanted to know more about his father , I would like to tell him more about him. Also, as the descendants of Alvin Hale, we would all like to know were we come from.
Any information or pictures would be most welcomed. If you have any details, I would be very
grateful if you could answer as soon as possible. Please note that Alvin Hale might not have
told the people home of his marriage in Montreal. "[ms436$cam.ac.uk]
