| Note | Birth reg. 041877-98 Galt, Waterloo County Herbert Berson Coleman born December 28, 1897, parents Alven Coleman and Lavinia Emma Himes. Father painter. Physician Dr. Wardlaw. Informant Alven Coleman. Date of registration: Jan. 22, 1898. The spelling of Bert Coleman's middle name, Berson, which appears thus on his birth registration, is taken as well from his attestation papers, self signed - several times - on January 23, 1916. Bert's attestation papers were filled out at the time of his signing up for the Canadian Army during the First War. His middle name was apparently given him as it was the middle name of his Aunt Clara's husband, Franklin Burson Waugh. There appears to be a slight misrendering of the spelling. At the time he signed up with the Canadian Army, the family lived at 39 Oak Street in Galt. His parents lived there until his father's death in 1936. |
