Can anyone help me in finding more information about the Hennen family in Hamilton, Ontario? I have listed all the information that I have found or been given the past years researching them.
Albert Victor HENNEN; the son of Edward Albert Hennen and Flora SNOOK was born 24 Mar 1897 in Woking Surrey.
On the 18 Mar 1913 he arrived on the ship `Canada´, from Liverpool to Portland Maine Canada.
Albert Victor HENNEN married Violet May RUSSELL 26 Jul 1923 in Owen Sound, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She was born in England; no information found yet as when she sailed to Canada.
In 1923 they are living in Owen, Sound Hamilton, Ontario and are there in 1972 when Albert had retired.
Violet May HENNEN died 25 Apr 1989 in Hamilton, Ontario and was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Wentworth, Flamborough, Hamilton.
The marriage had two or more children, I have found two sons.
Harry and Brian, Kenneth who married Mary in the 1960's, her father was Frederick.
Any information to fill in missing gaps and correct errors would be welcome.
Related topic below for Frederick Hennen; George's brother has given me much information and I hope this new topic is so good.

RootsChat has a policy of not naming living people. From googling the names of the sons at least one of them is living. If you google the name of BKE Hennen you will find information about him and may be able to contact him for further information.

Since Albert Victor is also in Woodland Cemetery use this email contact to find out date of death.

I understand that but you can't name people who could be alive in your post. As I said, from googling one of the sons' names it appears he (and his wife) are still alive. BKE Hennen is a prominent doctor and there is nothing to indicate he or his wife have passed away.

I am referring to Albert's sons and daughter-in-law that you had named, not Albert. At least one of his sons is alive and he and his wife should not be named in a post pursuant to RootsChat rules.

Sorry that I mis-understood you Jacquie :-[. Sarah has edited my first post and I have emailed the Woodland Cemetery and hope that they can help me in my searches.

No problem, I am contacting the son of BKE Hennen. Uncle Brian just died suddenly last week, and I know he had been working diligently on our family history, so hopefully I can provide you with some very comprehensive information.

Just for infomation Flora Snook was my mothers aunt, Flora the sister of Charles Snook.
I believe that I have found an error for Violet Russell but wait until you send me the errors you have found.
