Hello Everyone

I'm looking for some help if possible

I have relatives who left Glasgow Scotland for Canada in 1905.

Andrew Marshall and his wife Catherine Strachan Marshall

They left Glasgow heading to Quebec on the ship called Ionian May 27th 1905.

They eventually settled in Vancouver.

They had 3 children that I know of Andrew and Agnes both born in glasgow and Jane the youngest born in Canada.

I know andrew married Carrie Mabel Finners (a widow) and he was tragecally killed in a bad fire on christmas eve 1949 - I believ they had several children can any one help me with this information...

I have no information at all on agness

and I have that jane married william hendry carswell but no information other than this -

Hi Paul,

Oh my, how very sad :'( Andrew and Jane dying within days of each other.

Just in case you're not finding it on google, this is the site for Royal BC Museum. The marriage and death of Jane are on this page, just click on the red numbers at the bottom of the page to view the original documents.
Then you can go back to the top of the page, and click on "Back to Search" and search for others.

How are you doing with searching the RBCM website? Have you gotten any further with the children of Andrew and Carrie?

Here is Carrie Marshall's 1970 death record. I notice the informant is a son with the initials A S Marshall living at the time in Prince Rupert, BC.
