Looking for any information about DAVID THOMAS (or David T.) GANT in Lethbridge, Alberta. He travelled from England to Montreal on the Empress of Britain, 22 Nov. 1913. From there he was to travel by CP Rail to Lethbridge, Alberta, to go "to brother 3 yrs in Canada". He was a seaman in England and his intended occupation in Canada was to be a fireman. Any information (before his marriage to Etta Maude Manning) about David T. Gant, b.1883 in England, or his brother about whom I know nothing, would be deeply appreciated.

I may be getting all excited for nothing, but the names of George Gant's children are very common names in my Gant family line. It certainly looks promising. thank you so much, agmaciaszek! You are a gem.

Here is the obituary of George Gant, hope it helps.
Published in the Lethbridge Herald March 10, 1964 pg18.
