You need to navigate around that website to find all the information.

Other information from Phylis Egan's book about the Brothers family reads "One child enlisted 12-6-42, GNR-GH Gile, A. 103363.
Died at age 26 (it was more likely age 22),in the service of his country January 6th 1945 in Italy
Olive had a cross with a Maple Leaf on it, plus a medal. She has a lovely photo of aunt Sarah, (Brothers) Shoemaker"
I'd be interested if anyone else has any more information about this or any other relative.

Mel,

You got me searching again for John Henry Gile in the 1901 census, and I believe I finally found him.  We know that he was born June 06, 1896 in Arthur Township, Wellington County, Ontario.  Here he is in 1901 with his widowed mother Lizzie Gil (should be Gile and looks that way on the actual image to me) and a sister Isabella Gil, all of whom are living with Lizzie Gile's (nee Gillen's) sister, Isabella Mutters (nee Gillen) and her family.

1901 Census:
District: ON WELLINGTON (North/Nord) (#125)
Subdistrict: Arthur b-3 Page 4
42   44 Mutters James G M   Head M Jul 30 1871 29 England 1872(imm) Bapt Farmer
43   44 Mutters Isabella F   Wife M Aug 18 1875 25 Ireland 1878(imm) Presb
44   44 Mutters Lizzie F   Daughter S Jun 22 1895 5 ON Bapt
45   44 Mutters Ethel S F   Daughter S Sep 21 1898 2 ON Bapt
46   44 Gil Lizzie F   Sister in law W Jul 21 1872 28 Ireland 1878(imm) Presb
47   44 Gil Isabella F   Niece S Feb 18 1894 7 ON Presb
48   44 Gil John H M   Nephew S Jun 6 1896 4 ON Presb
