Walter John left England with an occupation marked as Grocer for Canada with his mother and one brother arriving in Canada Oct. 8, 1909.-----In 1927 it is reasoned that he was a clerk at 115 Regent Ave., because of the entry in Lovell's Montreal Alphabetical Driectory.In the same directory for 1938 he was at 4972 Sherbrooke, Westmount.

He went to work for a grocer in Montreal and in 1938 opened Chatfield's Fine Grocery Store in Westmount which is a very upper class area in Montreal. The store remained open for 48 years. His sons Walter Duncan and Frank John and his son all worked there. The store sold a lot of imported goods from England to the wealthy people in Montreal as well as other groceries. They had all the Peak Freans, I can't think of the name of jams and jellies but they were all very English - as well as Christmas Crackers!Debra Chatfield Masse July 2012.-----Not found in 1901 UK Census.-----Canada Passenger ListsName: Walter ChatfieldEvent Type: ImmigrationEvent Date: Oct 1909Event Place: Quebec City, Quebec, CanadaGender: MaleAge: 18Birth Year (Estimated): 1891Birthplace: EnglandShip Name: VictorianOccupation: GrocerAffiliate Film Number: T-4764Digital Folder Number: 004542579Image Number: 00070-----Voyage to England:CHATFIELD, Walter born 1891 sailed 1960 Southampton to Montreal, Canada.Yes this was my grandfather - Walter J - he went for a visit to England after his wife (my grandmother died).
