Notes |
- From Ralph D. Sprague, correspondent, note of September 13, 2012
Looking at Bertram in Ancestry I don't know that he had any sisters who immigrated with him so I'm guessing Cyril was married to a sister of Ruth.

I found on www.familysearch.org Gertrude May Sprague's father's name. It is F Robert Ailken in the article. Aitken is spelled wrong in the article. The site was https://familysearch.org/pal:/mm9.1.1/xgwt-x3p (in all capital letters). It is April 23, 1928 border crossings from Canada to US. Her father was the departure contact in Canada and Cyril J Sprague was the arrival contact in Buffalo, New York.
