Harry gives his age as 20, living in Durham, Ontario - birth place: Middlesex, England – arrived at Quebec, Canada on the “Empress of Britain” in July 1914 – he is accompanied by his brother Charles
Charles gives his age as 22, living in Holstein, Ontario – birth place: Enfield, England – arrived at “unknown” Canada on the “Virginian” in 1913 – he is accompanied by his brother Harry
I believe these are the Scales children that came to Canada as BHC
