Charles lennox

[PeteM]

Hi everyone, although i have been a passive member of the forum for some time this is my first post.

I collect alsorts to the Manchesters and have just aquired a lovely set of postcards. They all belonged to one man who i think emigrated to Canada just before the first war. He was in the 2nd VB and later the 6th Territorial battalion, i am after any info on him, one of the postcards is of a chap with boer war medals but is not named so i dont know if this is him or a mate, also did he serve with the Canadians in the Great war or come back over here, the postcards actually came from Maine USA.

Anyway, if anyone can find anything i would be very grateful

He is

Charles Lennox

I think his address was

7 Slade Lane Longsight

He may also have owned a restaurant on Peter st in town called Lennox restaurant


I have one address in canada which is

The Nurseries
Loch Lomand Rd
St John
New Brunswick


All the stuff is dated 1906  to 1912 

Thanks in advance for any help

Pete
