The hunt for Frank Liddell

Frank Liddell was born in Coleraine, County Derry, Ireland in the 1880s, and came to Canada in 1910. Or was he? Why doesn't he appear in any of the records? Why is there no trace of the first 25 years of his life? Checking all available source documents reveals the answers -- as well as a many, many more questions. This is a great detective case. The session refers to these links:
