NotesIn 1910, Alexander Southart, 14, arrived at Quebec, Canada, with a group of 59 Catholic children en route to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. All of the children aboard this ship were detained at the hospital for an unlisted reason.

In 1911, Alex Southart, 14, was shown as a servant / farm labourer for Peter Dowdal and family in Drummond, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as July 1896 and his immigration year as 1910.

On December 6, 1916, Alexander John Southart enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that his residence was c/o Mr. Peter Dowdall, R.M.D. No. 2, Perth, Ontario, Canada; that he had no record of where he was born; that no relatives were known to him, but this is crossed out and his next of kin was shown as Mr. Peter Dowdall, same address; that the relationship between him and his next of kin was not known; that he had no record of the date of his birth; and that he was a farmer. He was described as 5 foot 8-3/4 inches in height; medium complexion; gray eyes; and dark brown hair. He was a member of the Roman Catholic faith.

He's listed as a Roomer in the household of James Ations, at 198 Furby St. Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is a salesman by trade. He confirms his immigration date as 1910.
