you to Nancy Jean (Kyles) Moisan, great-granddaughter of William Kyles and granddaughter
of Albert Kyles, for providing the details below:

Albert Kyles -
Photographer
and Artist
"William's son, Albert Kyles, emigrated to
Canada with his family at the age of five, around 1924. Full details
cannot be checked as the immigration records for 1924 were destroyed in a fire
in Montreal.
Albert was an artist. Quite a few of of us in
the family have some of my Grandfather's [Albert's] paintings that he did
over the years. A lot were purchased by the T Eaton company an d also the
'Molson' family in Montreal."

William Kyles
William Kyles of 'Kyles & Law'
and 'Kyles & Moir' was my Great Grandfather.
We have traced the family back
as far as Andrew, born 12 Jan 1784 in Wemyss, Fife, married Ann
Dewar 19 Feb 1808. Andrew died before 1855 around the age of
71.
My Dad's name is William Doig
Kyles. He was born 5 Sep 1919, son of Albert, born 27 Sep
1875. The family came to Montreal, Quebec, Canada around 1924
(records destroyed in fire).
My Dad and Mom live in
Kingston, Ontario, in good health at the age of 86 and 82.
