William Frank Prince and Alice Kate Lynch 1918My great grandparents, William Frank Prince and Alice Kate Lynch, on their wedding day in Dorking, Surrey England on March 11, 1918. William was originally from the New Forest near Bramshaw, Hampshire but emigrated to Canada in 1912; prior to emigrating he served in the British Army for about 12 years. He met Alice Kate while still living in England before the war, and brought her back with him to Canada in 1919.
