William Pedersen Randers - Canada

[Birgit Lindgren]

Hi,

I am looking for a person named William Pedersen. He is said to be born about 1900 in Randers, emigrated to Canada in the 1920s.  Found work as a carpenter with Ford Motor Company in Windsor, Ontario, Canada & worked there until retirement.

He was born and raised to an adult in Denmark - may have married and had a child, both wife & child died in auto accident according to family story heard one time.

About 1940 he married Edith May Malott (nee McKibben). After she died in Dec 1962 he stayed in Windsor until the early 1970's when he returned to Denmark and I am told he died in his home city of Randers about 1981.

Any information would be grately appreciated.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I don't think that is the William I am looking for. He died in Denmark in the 80:s. But I will have a look into the information :-) Is there any way to find people who emigrated from Denmark?
