Biography

• Oscar Andrews was born in 1890, the son of Abel C. Andrews and Amina White of Springhaven, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Nova Scotia Vital Records shows another Oscar Andrews (son of William and Levila) of the same age in Digby was married in 1918^[4] This second Oscar Andrews also appears in the 1911 Census, with DOB June 1890^[5]
• The same database shows two Oscar Andrews of the same age died in Digby in 1919 from the Spanish Influenza^{[6] [7]}. It appears possible that Oscar Andrews, the son of Abel and Amina was one of these two who died from influenza.
• At the same time, a Harley Oscar Andrews immigrated to the US in 1921^[8], although the DOB is 1882. It is possible he lied about his age, or a clerical error was made, so a question remains.
• No further information found.
