The Hunt for Alfred Noseworthy
information about Alfred Noseworthy has been pretty scant until now. In hunting for the
Noseworthy family (married 1907 in Halifax) I was unable to find them in Quebec City as some birth references led me to believe. But when the census was taken as of June 1911 they showed up in Maisonneuve District 5, city of Montreal at 2075 Mance St.

What this census entry tells us:
- Alfred and Mary lived at 2075 Mance St, Montreal with Myrtle (3),
Roy (2) and Donald (4 months).
- Under Racial background Alfred is �Anglais� (English) and Mary is
�Allemande� (German)
- Myrtle is listed as being born in Sept 1908, this conflicts with the 1907 birth year we already have. But this census entry may not be absolutely correct and so should be treated cautiously.

Scotia, Roy is listed as born in N.B. New Brunswick and
Donald was born in Q Quebec, wife Mary was born in N.E Nova Scotia and
Alfred as �O� (other?) we know he was born in Newfoundland (which was
not part of Canada until 1949)
- Alfred was listed as employed, under the column
supplementary employment is a date �11-6-05� (is this a note that he was
employed since that time?) industry is �chemin de fer� (railroad).
