On the 1906 Alberta Census  Moral Beckett 62 was  living in the town of Red Deer with his brother, Daniel H. Beckett, 61, b. Ontario. Daniel was married to Caroline, 57, and their children, Ernest L., 25, Waitland J., 23, M. Leslie,19, Alberta B., 18.

Note: Moral Beckett was showing as born in the USA, however, the family seemed to be living in Ontario on all census records. As he was listed last on the census records of the Beckett family, it was likely an error of the census taker, who used "- ditto down the column, for the children.
