Rev Van Blerk
« on: Saturday 02 May 20 17:56 BST (UK) »
Seeking a death record or 1901 census mention for a Rev. Felix Van Blerk, parish priest who served at the former Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Ross-on-Wye in 1897-1898.  This info from Bernard Kelly’s Historical Notes on English Catholic Missions.  Any information as to his death or whereabouts would be appreciated after the years indicated.  He was originally from Belgium and had served in several Catholic parishes in Maritime Canada. This was as far as I could trace his paper trail.
Thanks in advance for any help in finding him.
