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.

The Canadian Virtual War Memorial has an entry for Donald Leonard Grimes (not Lawrence) that indicates he was married to Arras Allison:

There have been a couple of articles attached to the entry but neither mention whether he had any children:

Donald's WWII file might mention whether he had children. Here is a link to his entry in the Second World War Service Files: Canadian Armed Forces War Dead database at Library and Archives Canada. There are instructions on how to order a copy of the file at the link. I'm not sure of the cost but it likely depends on the size of the file.
