John Timms m Mary Marceline Lalonde in St Boniface, Manitoba on 20 Nov 1915.
I would like to find out where John was born & who his parents were for me to be sure this is the John Timms I'm interested in. Will this info be available on their marr cert by any chance??
He was born in Salford, Manchester UK in about 1888.
Can anyone help me with this please?
I've found out quite a bit about this family but still am unsure this is the John Timms I'm looking for.
Thanks to all who can help,
Amberly.

Hi,
His obituary is in the Winnipeg Free Press, Dec 19, 1978. He died Dec 16 1978 at the St. Boniface Hospital. It says he was born in Madely, England on Dec 4 1887. He came to Canada at an early age. Survived by wife Marceline, one son and two daughters (named... if this is your John, I will post the names). One son predeceased him. Interment in Oakville, Man.

Well that's sorted that out for me. Wrong man! He was b in Salford, Manchester & Madeley is in Shropshire I believe, nowhere near Salford. So that's the end of researching that family!
Thanks so much for looking that up for me.

Can you provide any further information like who you believe his parents are? Any siblings?

Hi Jacquie in Canada, I'm in Canada too!
RunKitty solved my problem thank you very much. This guy who m Marceline was not the correct John Timms. We don't even know that he emigrated here but he's nowhere to be found on the UK censuses so looking at passenger lists was another idea. All the rest of his family is accounted for back in the UK but he just disappeared.
Thanks anyway for you interest.

For information purposes - another thread on Lancashire board for John Timms.

Hello Jacquie in Canada & Sandra.
Yes I'm helping Eileen out since I live in Canada & she doesn't have worldwide Anc. so I've been able to do some look ups for her & we found this JT who m Marceline & it was all the correct time frame but I just couldn't find out exactly where he came from in all the info I'd found on him & had the idea that his marr cert may throw some light on that. Anyway his obit did that, so really as Eileen said in her Rootschat posts in the UK he's like the Scarlet Pimpernel as we're certainly seeking him here & seeking him there & everywhere.
But thanks to you both for responding. I really can't see what else we can do.
