Any other info
Tipton Remembers is sure this is the correct info for John Emmanuel Bedale as all other details correspond
As at attestation he gave his address as Kakabeka Falls, Ontario and occupation as Ranger. His next of kin was given as his father, Mr J W Bedale of 71 Chattaway Street, Birmingham which ties up with his gravestone and census data. Curiously, his date of birth is given as 6th May 1892 when it was actually 1888 - .

Birth: BEDALE, EMMANUEL - MMN: GREGORY
GRO Reference: 1891 J Quarter in DUDLEY Volume 06C Page 49
(It just gives Emmanuel - No John is mentioned)

Birth: BEDALE, JAMES GREGORY - MMN: GREGORY
GRO Reference: 1888 S Quarter in DUDLEY Volume 06C Page 39
(This is the birth of their first son, but you have it entered as James Gregory with no surname BEDALE entered)

Birth: BEDALE, FREDERICK ROBERT - MMN: GREGORY
GRO Reference: 1893 J Quarter in DUDLEY Volume 06C Page 51

So it looks good to me. I can't find the actual Marriage entry on Ancestry or Find My Past sorry.

Going on Birth info BC wench found, Birth info states Emanuel Bedale (and no name John)
Cwwg states John Emmanuel Bedale
I'm going round in circles trying to be sure for bcc :crazy:

The 1888 birth date you have got is (John) Emanuel's brother's birth year - James Gregory Bedale.
