[EDITORS NOTE: The name "Samuel Spread" is incorrect. His true name was Leonard Spread and he married Elizabeth Phythian in 1880 in Prescot, Lanacashire, England.)

A death registration was found for Leonard Spread: Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853; Year of Registration: 1891; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; Age at Death: 38; District: Liverpool (1837-1934); County: Lancashire; Volume: 8b; Page: 73.

In 1896, Thomas Spread, 10, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 254 children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, accompanied by Mr. Owen. (His brother, Leonard Spread arrived in 1898 on the Labrador.)

In 1901, Thomas Spred, 17, is shown as a servant / farm labourer to John and Ellen Armstrong of Elmsley, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as 1883 and his immigration year as 1890. (1901 Census of Canada; Province: Ontario District: Lanark (South/Sud); District Number: 81; Sub-District: Elmsley (North/Nord); Sub-District Number: F-2; Family Number: 64; Page: 7.)

In 1911, Thomas Spread (no age given) was shown working on the farm of James Perry in Township 69 (Grand Prairie), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. (1911 Census of Canada; Province: Alberta District: Edmonton; District Number: 2 Sub-District Number: 45; Census Year: 1911; Page: 6).

(In 1913, apparently despondent over his brother's move to Alberta, Thomas' brother, Leonard Spread, committed suicide in Ontario.)

On January 6, 1916, at Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Thomas Spread, 31, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces (Service No. 778279). He declared that he resided in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada; that he was born in Lancashire, England; that his next of kin was his brother, James Spread, who resided at 285 Foleshell [Foleshill] Road, Coventry, England; that he was a farmer; that he was not married; and that he had served in the Active Militia under the 12th Regt. York Rangers. He was described as 5 foot 7-1/2 inches in height; dark complexion; blue eyes; dark hair. He was a member of the Presbyterian faith.

On March 12, 1919, in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Thomas Spread, 34, farmer, resident of Alberta, born in Lancashire, England, son of Leonard Spread and Elizabeth Phythian; and Elizabeth Wharrick, 34, dressmaker, born in Yorkshire, England, daughter of Francis Wharrick and Margaret Jefferson.
