Hi PolarBear,

Eight Allcocks in Toronto. I might just have to spring for a few phone calls. But they would be well worth the money. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi RunKitty,

Thanks for the information on Jessie's death. She and Joseph had at least one child, Dorothy Mary, born in 1904 who married Clarence Alexander Riddell in 1925. Joseph died in 1962.

So much has happened since that inital post, RunKitty. It's like this surname's time has come to be discovered. At that time, the last I'd heard of Ralph Leo and Orian was that they were living in Brooklyn on the 1910 census. I'm glad to know about most of their children being in Canada as well as the one in the U.S.

Thanks again for all your detective work.

Hi BobbiL,

Have you checked to see if the company ever did a company history book? Some do, the company where my dad worked did one about 20 years ago. Just a thought.

They were still in the U.S. 1930 Grosse Pointe, Wayne, Michigan  with 4 children https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X7SB-QD7  The werelate site called her Orian Bonnie Unknown, so they may have gotten mixed up with the spelling of Bowie...
Glad the information is coming together on the families...Before you know it you'll have descendants contacting you!

Thanks so much, J.J.
Relatives contacting me? I should get so lucky. And if I do, it will be in a huge part thanks to you and the folks here who have been sending information and leads to me and encouraging me on.

Interesting that Ralph Leo. and Orian are shown as being born in New York.

Hi again,

Ralph Leo's obit is also in the Star.  You can see it in the May 24, 1960 edition at page 32.  Ralph died on May 22 1960 at the South Peel Hospital.  He is buried at St. Mary's Port Credit, Ontario.  There are 7 children listed - the same as in his wife Orian Beatrice's obit.

Thank you so much for this, RunKitty.

Hmmm, never noticed...likely a lazy census taker who just ran the same information down the line, as it also says all parents born New York as well ...altho I can't see the image to know it is written that way...Nevermind they got it right in the 1921 Erie census, both born Canada & parents as well  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MJ2T-XB3

Not quite, J.J., as Ralph Leo. was born in Worcestershire, England in 1879. The Allcocks immigrated to Ontario in the late 1800s. The census got Orian Beatrice right, though, as she was born in Montreal. But her father, George Bowie, was born in Scotland.
