Clifford and Gilbert Belton Families Living in Hoyle, Ontario in 1937

I'm trying to understand and locate the whereabouts of the siblings of these two brothers, Clifford and Gilbert Belton living in Hoyle, Ontario near Timmons. Their parents are James and Kerenhappach Belton who allegedly arrived in Canada from England via Saint John, New Brunswick in March, 1923 when they visited their daughter, Amy Dora Belton Kierstead in Knowlesville, New Brunswick. From there, it is alleged that they settled in the Beamsville area of Ontario. Allegedly, Clifford and Gilbert were gold miners and Clifford died in 1937 from pneumonia at age 39 in Timmons. Does anyone know about this family of Beltons?

Thanks. I have seen at least some of the documents referenced and I believe that I need to separate Clifford and Gilbert Belton, sons of Clifford & Margaret Wilson Belton from Clifford and Gilbert Belton, sons of James and Kerenhappach Snelling Belton, the former being nephews of the latter. The surviving family of James and Kerenhappach Snelling Belton were Cisely, Clifford, Amy Dora, Gilbert and Wilfred, all born in England. Amy Dora married James Wesley Kierstead of Knowlesville, New Brunswick on May 15, 1920 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At this point, I can't find a trace of Amy Dora Belton Kierstead after 1924 when she travelled by train from Knowlesville, NB to Ontario. Allegedly, James and Amy had two children, Claude and Stanley Kierstead, born 1922 and 1924 respectively. Can anyone explain or confirm?

That is part of my question also. I have been told that he was living in Hamilton, Ont. but afterwards, I received conflicting information. With his sister, Amy Dora, I can't find a trace. Do you have info of any kind re Amy Dora? Thanks. Allan
