9. I'm pinning my hopes on this census to find out if my gr. grandfather was still

alive in 1940. He relocated to Michigan after my gr. grandmother, his wife, died of typhoid fever. None of my Dad's family really knew anything about him after he left Manitoba ... they didn't talk about him much because he'd 'abandoned' 7 children. I found out, however, he did stick around in Brandon until he could place them all with relatives .... completely opposite to the family rumour presented by an Aunt decades ago that he skipped the country days after his wife died. If I can narrow down his date of death I may be able to find where he's buried.
