6521. [House, no. 407, Calgary, Alberta]
Addressed to Miss A. L. Winskill, Lowther Newtown, Nr. Penrith, Cumberland

From "Ernest", Calgary, Canada.

Ernest Winskill had come to Canada in 1909 aboard the "Corsican", went out to Vancouver and then to Calgary. He went to the First World War and died of unspecified causes after it ended, on Feb. 5, 1919. As this page in the Virtual War Memorial indicates, he is buried in England www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/canadian-virtual-war-memorial/detail/4024219

It should be possible to get a full address for the house.

Nice! That would be perfect for the Vintage House-Proud People group if you have any interest in adding it.

Certainly. The effort that went into posing this was what impressed me. Who exactly these people would be is a question: it can't be Ernest's own parents and family as the records show that they remained in England. Are they friends, relations ... who knows. At least there's a house number -- 407 -- that could eventually unlock the answer.
