RESEARCH NOTES:
- 1911 not found in NB, nor PEI, a possible Frank age 36 born Jan 1875 in ON but married to Marguaret M and teenage children listed, so probably not him. Only a few other Franks listed in Canada, none of them matches.

- Sep 27 1902 marriage of Frank Compton. son of H.A. Compton to Lana Blanche Brown [as published in the Pioneer newspaper]. H.A. had a son Franklin M., but on the New Brunswick vital Stats the Compton that married Lana was Benjamin Franklin Compton. This couple had twins in 1907 Esther Grace and Alfred Herbert. Couldn't find them on
any census'.

- 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
