Mel, sorry for not contacting you sooner…I had saved the post meaning to get back to you and just completely forgot about it. I would love you to bring me up to date re Norman Blair Montgomery's family and that of his brother Robert B. (?) Montgomery. Could you tell me any background stuff like their employment or other interesting things…I am the long term partner of your far off cousin Karen Montgomery from Larne in N. ireland. Regards Laurence McAuley

Valeriec,

Yes great, that is our Lizzie and her daughter. It would appear she never married (certainly not in Ireland). I'l need to dig more on the John listed in the census. Many thanks again!

Sami,

Rose Mary is listed in 1901 Ireland Census so after that.

Sami,

Just checked the 1911 Ireland census, none of three are listed and could find no marriage details of a Lizzie (Elizabeth) Montgomery...very strange.

Sami and Valeriec,

Again I thank you!  :)
Lizzie was indeed Hectors sister b. Apr 9, 1880 Broughshane, Ireland...I had no idea that she married or had a daughter Lizzie...great info, I shall delve deeper into this. By the way your records online are so much better than over here in N. Ireland - very lucky!

 I wonder did perhaps brothers Samuel b. Feb 25,1865, John b. June 26, 1876 and sister Rose Mary b. Jan 22, 1874 follow their siblings Hector, Catherine and Lizzie to Vancouver? The family had undoubtedly a poor existence in Ireland...9 children and parents living in a 2 roomed cottage...so a new start in Canada would have seemed very attractive! The 2 elder brothers William and David were iron ore miners and stayed in Ireland.

Valeriec,

One of the marriages took place at "Manse of Chal____________? Presbyterian Church, 1495 8th Avenue, Vancouver. I've looked this up but comes back as a Masonic hall...any thoughts as to the right name of church?

Valeriec,
Many more thanks...why do you say if John Blair Montgomery died in Victoria you suspected influenza...was there a mass breakout/epidemic at this time?
