Magella Albert Isidore (Gérard) (Jerry) Chénier
     Magella Albert Isidore (Gérard) (Jerry) CHENIER, was born on 23 September 1912 in Hull, QC, Canada,1,2 and was baptized on 24 September 1912 in Hull, QC, Godparents: Albert Gareau & Constance Chénier.3,2 He received First Holy Communion on 14 June 1925 in St-Hilarion, Cobalt, ON, Canada. He married Violet Ethel SMITH, daughter of Louis SMITH and Délia LEFEBVRE, on 16 August 1937 in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Timmins, ON, Canada.4,1 He died on 3 November 1981 in Windsor, ON, Canada, at the age of 69.5 He was cremated in November 1981 in Windsor, ON.5 Magella was an embalmer, an undertaker, a miner and a store clerk.

Research Notes: In searching Notre-Dame-De-Grace parish records for Hull, Québec at the ANQ in Gatineau the microfilm record clearly indicates his actual name at baptism was: Magella Albert Isidore Chénier.
I have found other records which use Gérard as another one of his names. Where this comes from is unknown. He was also known as Jerry. As a young boy I remember that one of his nick names was also Ti-moine.

A Short Biography

Jan Wozowczyk
Born in Poland on 27 August 1919
Passed away on 14 December 2014
Aged 95 years

JAN WOZOWCZYK: 27 AUGUST 1919 – 14 DECEMBER 2014

Jan was born in Nowa Huta, a small village in the then Polish district of Buczacz in Eastern Galicia. Following the Russian invasion of Eastern Poland in 1939, he and most of his family were deported to a labour camp at Winokurka near Swierdlowsk in Siberia in 1940.

In 1942, leaving his family in Siberia, he joined the Anders Army, travelling through the Middle East and Africa to England where he joined the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade. Following training in Scotland, he took part in the Battle of Arnhem where he was taken prisoner, spending time in Stalag XIIA (Limburg) and IVB (Mühlberg).

Following the war Jan settled in Leicester, England where he married Dorothy and raised his family. He and Dorothy emigrated to Melbourne, Australia at the end of 1987 to be near their son, Stefan. He remained proud of his Polish roots and in 2000, 58 years after he last saw his Polish family, Jan returned to Poland and was reunited with his 5 sisters and their families.

Jan and Dorothy celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2013. Jan died peacefully in Melbourne on 14 December, 2014 and is survived by Dorothy and children Linda, Stefan and Patricia.

A gentle and much-loved man who had a truly remarkable life.
