- 1911 Canada census - no Lana Compton listed. A Lena Compton age 33 married to a Wm Compton listed in Ontario - no match.
- I found Benjamin F. and Lana/Blanche (she was Lana on the 1910 and Blanche on the 1920) on the 1910 and 1920 U.S. Census in New York City with children Grace and Winton. And Blanche on Boarder Crossing info Sept 18, 1919 returning to N.Y. from Moncton again Grace and Winton accompanied her. Wouldn't it be nice if they didn't keep changing their names!
- Winton was born in New Brunswick in 1908 parents Benjamin & Blanche. Nothing about
Alfred Herbert. In all places I have looked the father is always referred to as Benjamin,
so I would assume by all this, that he is not our Frank
