I think I found Albert (b 1915 Ontario) United States Border Crossings from Canada to United States. Manifest of Alien Arrivals at Niagara Falls, New York 18 July 1938.
Other than that, the whole family seems to have disappeared, certainly moved elsewhere.

Thanks Margee. I meant Alfred not Albert. Sorry. So he went to Detroit. Well done for finding that and thanks again for your help. Will try and trace him and others from there.

This is the second branch of my family that I discovered had emigrated to USA / Canada and then disappeared from all records! I will keep hoping something turns up eventually. Thanks again Margee.
