NotesA birth registration was found for Theodore Stephano Girault: Year of Registration: 1874; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; District: Pancras (1837-1901); County: London, Middlesex; Volume: 1b; Page: 95. Parents: Alexander Girault and Sarah Theodora McGreal, married 1860 at St George Southwark, Surrey, England.

Sarah Theodora Girault died in 1876 at 11 Sidney Street, Pancras, London, England.

In 1887, Theodore Girault, 13, arrived at Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, in a group of 10 boys from Barton Regis, Bristol, England.

"From the Reports of Inspection of Pauper Children sent out to Canada made by Immigration Officers of the Dominion Government and received from the Colonial Office on the 12th December 1888.

Report of Mr. Samuel Gardner, Government Immigration Agent at St. John, New Brunswick.

Theodore Girault, aged 13. From parish of St. Pancras. Placed with W. O. McAnespy, Annagance, King's County. Also a good home, lad healthy generally; likes his place and country far better than England; would not go back again. His master likes him very well, yet he is saucy occasionally, outside that a good willing worker. This lad, [Henry] Mitchell, and [George] Harvey are with brothers-in-law and live, say 4 to 7 miles apart, a splendid locality. Religious and industrious people; churches and school-houses in close proximity."

On July 30, 1901, at Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada, a marriage was registered between Theordore Girault, 26, telegrapher, residing in New York, USA; born in England to unknown parents; and Bessie Pearl McAnespy, 26, born in Portage, Kings, New Brunswick, Canada, to John and Elizabeth McAnespy.

On September 12, 1918, at Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA, Theodore Girault, 45, registered for the United States Draft. He declared that he resided at 164 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA; that his date of birth was March 29, 1873; that he was an alien and born in Great Britain (England); that he was a telegrapher / order clerk at Edwar B. Smith & Co., New York, New York; that his next of kin was his wife, Bessie P. Girault, 164 Webster, Brooklyn, Kings, New York. He was described as medium height; slender build; blue eyes; light hair; and wore glasses for astigmatism.

Theodore's sister, Emily Alexanderine Girault, was not allowed to keep in touch with her brother, and it upset her to the day she died (aged 86) in 1947.
