Was there another child ??
« on: Tuesday 19 June 18 09:28 BST (UK) »
Hi, can anyone in Canada help with this, Charles Dennis and Kate Dennis ( nee Southern ) married in Northwich , Cheshire , England in 1910 and had a son called Charles Leslie Dennis in 1912 Northwich.
They then went to Canada also in 1912 , about 17th November.
Then they had a girl in 1915 called Eva Marne Dennis and the family lived in the Middlesex, London, area of Ontario.
My question is.....did they have another child in Canada ? and if so who was she/he ?
I suspect that if this is the case the child might have been a boy who later went on to have a relationship with a lady with the last name of Dobell, perhaps.
Of course i could just be wrong.

Canada Voters List 1949 shows Eva M nee Dennis Griffiths and husband Jack T (knitter) - 37 Duchess Avenue London Ontario. If an obituary for Eva could be found it may show if there were other siblings.

Middle initial "T" is for Tranter.

Possible son of Eva and Jack Griffiths - Robert Griffiths - 1937 - 2011

Canada 411 would help locate the sister or check social media.  ;)
