Canada / Cecil Clarkson Owen, Regina (Sask)
« on: Wednesday 21 November 12 13:37 GMT (UK)  »
I’d like to find out more about Cecil Clarkson Owen.

In particular, was there a marriage between him and Mary Harriett Roberts between 1920 and 1922. If so, where and when.

Was their daughter Glenys Owen (possibly Glenys Clarkson Owen) born in Canada; if so, where. Her birth date was 6 March 1923.

I know he emigrated to Canada between 1911 and 1913; I know he served in the Canadian army during WW1; I know he worked in Regina, Sask, in 1921; I know he worked in Whitewood, Ont in 1924.

Any other info would be greatly appreciated

I am still new to this game and finding my feet. My prime objective is to chase back my paternal line, which I always believed was Cumberland based. My father never really liked the Welsh (I never did know why) and I've just discovered that two of his great grandmothers were Welsh!!! I just wish he was still around so that I could "discuss" it with him.

Anyway, having started on the father's side in Cumberland, I now find myself going further afield, that is, Cheshire and North Wales. Hopefully somewhere more exotic will appear soon.

Cheshire / Re: mother's maiden name as child's middle name
« on: Thursday 15 April 10 10:07 BST (UK)  »
This has been a regular occurrence down one branch of my family free; there are at least 5 Pembertons that I know of so far, going back to 1804. The problem I have is that I have not yet found the original maiden name .............. so, strictly speaking, I haven't proved that it is a maiden name.

As this is also a town in Lancs, there may be a connection there but, so far, no leg of the family tree is in that part of lancs.

I have just seen this page on Google. I believe that this Rebecca Jones is my great great grandmother. in which case her birth date was 21 January 1822.

I have just joined RootsChat (in order to reply) and don't yet know how to use it. If you could get in touch with me, I may have more information to assist you (and you may have some to assist me).
