William J Herring - Emma J Herring

[henery]

Hi everyone
 Sometime ago you did some excellent research for me about a relative who emigrated to Montreal Canada.To recap it was about a William Herring B1887 Swindon Wilts. who emigrated to Canada together with a Emma J Herring nee Green B1890 in Aston. You located them for me living at 5434  Drake St. in 1919.
At the time they had 3 children      William J. Junior B1910.
                                                    Leonard              B1913.
                                                    Frederick            B1917.
William Senior enlisted in the CEF for WW1.
Now my problem did William and Emma have more children? I seem to have found a photograph of a soldier I believe is William together with Emma and a child. The photo appears to be dated June1922. The child is about 2 years old. William is still in uniform and his badge is for the 22 Bn Canadien Francais.
I wonder if you could find what happened to the family after they were all back at Drake St Montreal.
Hope the above makes sense!

I don't think the "H" is a given name. I believe that was the surname written in the margin and the given names were simply R.D.

Hi Cosmac
Many many thanks for your info.I look forward to knowing the christian name of H. R. D. Herring.
The additional info of children born later Georgina Clare Herring B1926 and Died 1926 ties in with family tradition. William's mother's name was Georgina and Emma's mother's name was Clara!
The Edward Dean is surprising!
I do not have the marriages of William Junior or Leonard and Frederick.
Would appreciate having this info.
Regards

Jacquie is correct and what I mistook for a Christian name was actually the transcription of the Herring surname.  His initials are R.D. only.

Hi Jacquie in Canada
Pleased to meet you.
I see what you mean about H R D Hemming I presume you are indicating that the entry is Herring R.D. At this stage not sure.
R for Robert is William's father's name and Douglas is a brother's name.
Will keep an open mind on this.
Thanks for info.
Regards
Henery

I'm certain it says Herring and that R.D. is the son of your couple. I was only pointing out that the name in the left hand margin was the surname and not a given name for the son. This entry says:

Herring       R.D., son of William James Herring, blacksmith...

I'm replying to a message you wrote 18 months ago - which I just came across when googling my grandfather's name.  I guess we are related.  From reading your posts, I see we certainly shared a great aunt - Florence Minnie Don (nee Green).  To confirm the answer to your question, yes Robert Douglas Herring was born on August 26 1921 in Montreal and passed away in April 1999 in Calgary.  He was my father.  I'm not sure how to send a private message, as I just joined this site, but you may know how.  Contact me if you'd like more info.  Great to meet you.

Hello Glennard
I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. Yes we are certainly related.Florence Minnie Green.
Florence, known as Floss, is a first cousin of mine. she was my Granfathers niece.Her mother was Clara Jane Green my GrandAunt.She had a sister called Emma Jane Green also a Cousin of mine, both emigrated to Canada. Floss I think, about 1919.Emma married a William Herring and had 4 children:- William, Leonard, Frederick and Robert.
You have already answered one question I had about Floss you say her married name was Florence Minnie Don, I have been researching for a Dunn.
On the personal message system they have on Rootschat I believe you have to send at least 3 messages before you can use it and then you can action the little scroll on the left which opens it for you.
Would love to correspond with you.
