Was Frank Paige (133) a painter

Sometimes pays to be a member of a genealogy Society. As a member of the Kingston Genealogy Society, a recent newsletter contained a notice that the Kingston Public Library had digitalized the city directories from 1873 to 1920.

Last year  I had spent a pleasant afternoon in Kingston Library on Johnson Street, going through the directories, looking for Frank Paige and Sidney Applebee, among others. I missed, the fact there was an area for Portsmouth. However when a printed records are digitalized, they become searchable, and this makes it much easier to find what you are looking for.

The directory doesn't give an address for Frank, but Portsmouth was a very small town.
So the next thing I must do, is go back as far as 1913, when Frank immigrated to Canada, and see when he shows up in the directory. Using the directories, I have been able to trace the residences, and emplyment, of Frank Paige and family since their arrival in Canada.
