• Notes

  He was an engineer at the time of his first marriage. In 1899 in Toronto a Walter Brydon from Bracebridge is granted a 4th class competency certificate as an Engineer of Steamboats. The 1911 census for Atlin, BC shows him living in a predominately Asian comunity of salmon cannery workers. He's a marine engineer working on a steamer.  52 (wks employed at job) 84(hrs per wk) district 8 (comox-atlin ). Cemetery headstone shows a Robert F. Brydon and Edith M. Brydon. I'm assuming this is actually Walter.
