again thanks for getting back to me... yes I have found the 1920 census as Marc Sr. being a mechanic... came to conclusion that both records are right.. not unusual to have had 2 jobs then... plus family talk was that he was a cop... that is why i pOsted query about whether or not he joined the force or work for a agency,,,
yup thats right marc and margaret did not get married until 16 years later...since neither one of them wanted to raise the child they gave her up...
yes marc jr was born in canada in toronto ontario... records are for his father because marc jr was born in 1918..
the miss spelling of baud was indeed incredible..and did find the record with the miss spelling to 'band'...
no doubt about it the man led a double life..
there is at least 10 years where he seems to have completely vanished off both canadian and usa records...
thnaks so much for the link...will try it...
cheers m
