Re: [nscumber] Shields or Thompson

Hi Maryellen,
August 8 was a Sunday in 1909 according to a perpetual calendar.

The person who received the postcard was Carl Peel born 1897 who had moved
out west from Springhill in June 1909. Probably sent by a neighbor or
classmate because I don't have an Albert (surname not signed) of Springhill
in my files with known relatives. The 1901 census is such a large file that
it can't be opened as a MS Works spreadsheet. I'm viewing the census data as
an 896 page Word 97 file.

Is this the correct family group for your William Shields? The postcard
might have been sent by James Albert Coon who had a brother Harry about the
same age as Aubrey Thompson. - Elizabeth
