thanks hallmark for link, looking at it now

Ian, came across your Mark Stratfords wedding to Catherine Foster on link above &  now wonder if  your Mark Stratford b. 1959 d.1937 & my Grandfather Thomas Stratford b.1858 d.1939 were brothers, as Thomas Stratford was witness to their wedding(& both fathers were  named Mark),also your surname was my grandmother "Thomasina Stratford"s younger sister Catherines surname (when she married John Thomas Hunter), possibly 2 links here how connected?

(just realised wrote earlier my ancestor Thomas died 1937, but he d. 13 Jan 1939 Drumgore, Cavan, & is buried Gowna Parish Church)

i started at page 152 and found a Andrew Stratford and Joseph Stratford who retired in 1898 unfortunately it keeps knocking itself off so best keep a note of the page you are searching.
Joseph Stratford if i have found the right man sometimes had the middle name of Kent or Knight he was married to Eliza Jane Sterling or Eliza Jane Flux he was also a Constable in Canada

You would need Church records, as you see there are quite a few Sloan headstones in Gowna but didn't see any for Stratford.
