Daris?: Success today in locating my 2x great-grandparents in the 1921 census. Thomas and Louisa DAVIS were listed as Thomas and Louisa DARIS on page 18 of the Stanstead District 23 Beebe Plain. After several attempts to find Thomas and Louise in 1921, I decided a page by page search was in order. I first searched page by page in Compton County Districts 29, 30, 31 East Angus, thinking that they might have moved to East Angus to be closer to their only son William Alfred Davis. No success. Then I searched Standstead District 10, Fitch Bay, etc. page by page before moving on to District 23 Beebe Plain--I should have started there. Both English immigrants who came to Canada in 1870 and 1873, they had made the Stanstead area home for most of their lives in Canada. It turns out that Thomas's brother Fred was living with them as well in 1921. He was single man who had arrived in Canada in the 1880s. It was fascinating to see how many immigrants from the USA, UK and Europe had settled in these counties in the previous 10, 20, 30 and more years before. So now I will be on the watch for Daris as a possible version of indexed surnames. Susan
