David Lewis, 437073, 14th Bn, Canadian Infanty (Quebec Regiment) who died age 25 on 26 September 1916.
Son of B R and Margaret Lewis, Llandre Cardiganshire Wales.
Remembered with honour Vimy Memorial. That is all I can find about him, can't find him on the 1911 census
Would like to know when he went to Canada, was is brother John with him or did the two go at different times and would like to know where he went in Canada or Quebec Regiment enough to assume that he went to Quebec

Have you checked passenger lists to see when they left Wales?

If you can find them there then at least you know where to start.

If you don`t have access to those records put some names up on here and people will look for you

Names, year of birth and any addresses in Wales would be useful...and Country of destination if you know it.
