Looking to see if I can find out who would have been the parents of Archibald Coles. He was born on Prince Edward Island in January, 1852 or 1853. He married Marion Scott in 1879 in Prince Edward Island. He isn't in the US 1910 census and Marion is listed as his widow. Any information would be appreciated about him.

At familysearch.org, there is a baptism record for a James Archibald Coles baptized Feb. 27, 1853 North Bedeque United Church PEI parents Benjamin and Martha Cole
no birthdate show for
AND
an Arcb. Mckay Cole baptized April 5, 1852 Trinity United Church, Ch'town - First Methodist Church born Jan. 9. 1852 Ch'town Parents Rich. Cole and Cath.
these are both under Prince Edward Island Baptism Card Index 1721-1885
1861 census at familysearch.org has
Benjamin Cole township lot 27
Richard Cole - Charlottetown
1881 Charlottetown Royalty, Queens PEI has a Richard Cole age 72, widower, builder, born England
1881 has a Benjamin Cole with wife Martha living Lot 26, PEI with children Adalaide 24, Isabella 21, George Gordon 19, Bertram P. 16
so no son James/Archibald with them so still possible parents
I don't know if either of these is your Archibald but maybe worth checking into - only thing I can think of is to find the marriage record for Archibald and Marion and his death - I have not been able to find his death in MA records?
I see that Marion is listed as widow of Archibald M. in 1932 City directory so if M. was his middle initial then IF one of the baptisms found is for him then it seems likely it would be Arcb McKay Cole born to Rich. and Cath.

I found one more bit that may or may not mean anything.
PEI online archives has a Richard Coles who died Feb. 4, 1884 Charlottetown he was age 75 which fits with the Richard found in 1881 census. there is no more info shown for him
I also noticed that in the 1900 census for Archibald and Marion in MA they are shown as immigrating 1886, so I wondered if Archibald left PEI after both his parents had died?
The same PEI birth index at familysearch where I found the two Cole boys has a Marion Scott baptized April 7, 1856 St. James Church, Ch'town born Oct. 11, 1855 North River parents William Scott and Flora Charlton
DO you know what your Archibald's middle name was?

Archibald's middle name was McKay. Richard Cole fits research that my brother, Brian had found at one time but there was also another thread listing a James Coles that could never be verified. Thank you so much for the information you have provided. I'm new to researching family and this information is extremely helpful.

Thank you so much for this cited source. This is my Grandfather, Harry's family. I'm new to researching my family, so any information is very helpful.
