Fitzsimmons of Halton County.

[aljepeka]

Hi everyone,

I have a Robert Fitzsimmons who emigrated to Canada. He married Alice Brown in 1891 in Nelson . I do have the marraige details and also the census details for 1901. I would dearly love more info on this family. Ultimately leading to discovering a few of their descendants. They lived in Halton County, Trafalgar Township in Oakville. I believe that they are buried in St Judes cemetary in Oakville.

ANY INFO ON THIS FAMILY OR THEIR CONNECTIONS WELCOMED.

Regards,
Aljepeka

Hi - It would help if you gave the province name where you found them in 1901.  Have you checked the 1911 Canada census at automatedgenealogy.com?

William John signed up for WWI - at the time he was unmarried, next of kin is mother Mrs Robert Fitzsimmons of Oakville.
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1567952
 - and he is listed on the CWGC list.
his younger brother, 'Edmond Robert' that Karen found on the birth list, appears to have signed up as Edward.

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch - shows what might be Robert's death in 1932 - in Oakville, and Alice's in 1925.

http://www.halinet.on.ca/sigs/ogshp/ - the local OGS might be able to help as well.

Went to school with a Bob Fitzsimmons in the 1950s.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the great response - really grateful.  I tried unsuccessfully to go on this site last night but it may have been down for a while as it was the only site I could not log in to or maybe my computer was ' wonky'.  Busy Sunday afternoon here so I will get back to you all tonight when I have more time and have checked the sites you suggested .
I appreciate all the help.
