Alice Laurene Sayer, born July 25, 1923, daughter of Sydney James Sayer, car inspector for the City of Sherbrooke, and Lilian Marion, his wife, by her maiden name Enair, and was baptised on October 27 at the Church of the Advent, St Peter and St Paul. Her brother Sydney Edgar was born in 1921. Was Rose Allan's sister? I can't find a birth or anything else for Allan or Raymond.

Allan Norris was married to Margaret Way. Her obit is on the Cass site (http://casshomes.ca/en/obituary.aspx), and invaluable source for Townships obituaries.

I don't know if you're on Facebook, but you should be able to read this anyway. Someone just posted this and it's about Newington, which, it turns out, was in the East Ward of Sherbrooke.

Thanks very much for the link to the photo. I assume that it is a photo of the WW2 internment camp called Newington, which was in Sherbrooke. This web page says it was where the prison is now:

I had a look at the 1911 Sherbrooke census, but could not find the right surname in the East Ward. But I think the digitisation process for that census is not yet complete, so perhaps eventually I will find my family.

Via Ancestry I have the family on the 1921 census - but they are in Ascot Township, so I think they must have moved at some point.
