Title: Allison family to Canada 1928
Post by: eemuise on Tuesday 27 October 09 20:39 GMT (UK)

The following Allison family sailed from Greenock to Quebec August 25th, 1928 on the Montcalm.
all born Glasgow
Agnes Allison 40
Arras -- 9
Agnes -- 7
Roderick -- 5
Jean -- 2
R Allison 44 (husband and father).
R McDonald 2 Chappell St. Barrhead, Glasgow. is given as older Agnes brother.
all landed immigrants going to Ottawa Ave, London, Ontario.

Arras Robertina Allison married my father's cousin Donald Lawrence Grimes.  He was in the RCAF and died during WWII in 1942. 

Would anyone have any information on Arras and Donald? I would like to know if they had any children.  Arras lived in London, Ontario, Canada, when Donald died.  She subsequently married Vincent Kenyon and he and she are buried in Ontario, Canada.

Hi eemuise,

This may not be what you are after, but I sent a request to the Canada Roots Chat site and they helped  me with info about the family and records which showed when and where they were born in Scotland which I did not have.
I have been helped quite a lot from very helpful people.

Regards
Annette. :)
