I'm trying to find the brothers and sisters of Albert Janes. His father was James W. Janes of Hants Harbour. I believe his mother was Jane Ann Short. They were married on 20 Dec 1878 in Hants Harbour, Newfoundland. Albert was born in Hants Harbour in 1890 and died of gunshot wounds in France in April, 1918, while serving in the Newfoundland Regiment. His will mentions "Marjorie Ella Janes". Was she his wife, or a sister?
My father, Max Clarke, recalled meeting Albert Janes in Hamilton or Toronto sometime during WW I. He described Janes as a cousin of his father, Samuel Clarke from St John's. I'm trying to verify his story.
One of the problems is that there isn't much room for visiting anyone, let alone someone in Toronto, between Albert's enlistment in Dec 1914, and his death in 1918.
And , whom would he visit?
I found a Steven and Elizabeth Janes in the 1911 census, both born in Newfoundland and living in Toronto West on Armstrong Ave. Was he Albert's brother?
Who is the Clarke in the Janes family? A Clarke from St John's? Or, since Sam's mother Anna was a Clarke from Brigus, is that the link?

Any information on these Janes would be welcome. Art

Albert Evelyn Janes of Hant's Harbour was my grandfather's first cousin. There is a memorial plaque which includes his photo in the United Church there.
Marjorie was his youngest sister.
Here are his siblings...and half-siblings...
His youngest half-sister, Mildred, married James Clark; however, Mildred was not born until 1909.
There are no Clarks on the Short side, nor have I found any on the Janes side. It is not a Hant's Harbour name. Perhaps they were relatives of Albert's stepmother, Laura.
Hope this helps. Kim Short

Thank you , Kim, for this information. The mystery of Marjorie is cleared up. But not the larger one: What was the connection in my dad's memory of the Clarkes to CSM Janes?
