In the 1881 Canadian Census, he is listed in Onslow, Quebec with a birth place as Ontario.

In a border crossing record on 25 Jul 1923 when he is crossing into the USA he is listed as an iron moulder.  This record is of particular interest as he listed his birth place as Onslow, Quebec.

In the 1925 New York census, he is listed as an iron moulder.

Notes:

Some records list his birth place as Ontario, but your author believes that he was born in Quebec.
