Family of Joseph Harmisdas Lacroix & Emma Holroyd
« on: Saturday 18 October 14 13:35 BST (UK) »
I would very much like to make contact with any family related to Joseph Harmisdas Lacroix & his wife Emma Holroyd who married in Preston, Ontario on 19th June 1926.
Emma Holroyd was the daughter of Joseph & Harriet Emily Holroyd who lived in the Holbeck area of Leeds in Yorkshire, England which is where Emma was born in 1902.
My connection to the family is through Emma's mother, Harriet Emily, & I would very much like to chat with family members to learn about Harriet is possible.
Thank you,
Jan.
