a TIERNEY descendant-researcher, writes
about 1901 census report - LEWIS / DAVIS - saying:
1871 Lambton, Ontario census shows
WILLIAM JOHN with his parents and
siblings THOMAS and SARAH JANE. He was born abt 1863 in either LAMBTON or ELGIN county in Ontario
to Michale PACE and Catherine DAVIS. 1901 census shows LEWIS.
Michael & Katherine Pace nee Lewis.
He worked as a bookkeeper for a coal company at the town of
Crowsnest Pass on the Canadian Pacific line west of Lethbridge.
Along highway #3, in coal mining country, between Cranbrook, BC and Lethbridge, Alberta is CROWSNEST PASS,
which is the name of a town I visited a few years ago. The building where WILLIAM JOHN PACE worked
as a bookkeeper, the coal company building, is still standing.
It is a museum now - I'm happy to say - and has a nice collection of stuff from pioneer days.
My grandfather CHARLES VICARAGE PACE was a Staffordshire coal miner
and is buried nearby, at LETHBRIDGE.
