Looking for a lost Kelly family member.  Florence KELLY (B: 28 Sep 1904) married William George OWEN (B: 26 Mar 1905) on 18 Dec 1926 at Birkenhead.  Last contact with Florence was in the 1930s.  Two sons, both born Birkenhead, Ronald George OWEN (B: 1928) and Kenneth Cedric OWEN (B: 1931).   Other family siblings of Florence, all born Liverpool are deceased - Alfred James KELLY (1905 - 1970), Norman KELLY (B: 1907 - 1967) and William KELLY ( 1909 - 1980).  William KELLY, my father, came to Canada in 1925 via the Liverpool Sheltering Home (i.e.: Barnardo's).  Believe (not confirmed) that Florence may have died Nottingham district (Sep - 3c 300) in 1960  at age 55 and William George OWEN (Sep - 3c 251) may have died in 1967 at age 62.  Possible son Kenneth C. OWEN may have died in 1949 (Jun - 3c 231) at age 18.  Any help connecting or information on these three deaths greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

George Jenkins came to Canada on the Minnedosa on the 27 March 1926.   Shipping records indicate hat he was born Plymouth and was age 17 (in 1926).  He was brought to Canada under BICA to do farm work at Kinburn Ontario.  Through his association with my family indicates that he was born in Cornwall and in 1909.  A possible birth in Cornwall Bodmin in 1909 in FREEBMD.  As a youth he was connected to a maritime training vessel, but unsure if that was with the RN or merchant ships.  His tomb stone indicates a birth of 1909 (died in 2002).  The names of his parents are unknown but it is believed his sister (name unknown) lived in Northern Ireland.    There is one relative, also George Jenkins, in Canada, probably in Ontario.   Any help or info greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
