England / Jane Knill-Pugin
« on: Tuesday 24 January 12 16:02 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with the parents of the above Jane Knill 1827-15 Feb 1909, the 3rd wife of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin 1812-1852 The marriage was in 1848

Have come across conflicting information. One gives Jane as the adoptive daughter of Sir John Knill, son of Sir Stuart Knill one time Lord Mayor of London. Another source, the daughter of Thomas Knill of Tiptree Hall Herefordshire.
She is also elsewhere given as the Neice of Thomas Knill.

Many thanks,
                       Facellia.

Canada / Hall Canada/UK
« on: Monday 08 August 11 11:40 BST (UK)  »
Hope someone may be able to help.
Trying to track down a Kath, could be Kathleen or Katherine Hall probably married name.
She may have links to Sussex in UK possibly though following families Foord,Kenward or
Shadbolt
From the little information I have she may have been born around 1920 in UK or Canada,lived in Bancroft, Ontario around 1950-1980.
Kath in touch with my mother by post & may have visited UK around 1950/1960.

Bit of a long shot but heres hoping.

He returned for a short & only visit to UK in late 1958 with his wife Kathleen, although we always knew her as Pat.
Appears to have married in Australia.
He used the surname Gordon on the ship Stratheden when returning to Melbourne Dec 1958.
Not aware of any children/ marriage or death information.
Jack was never in touch with his family again.

Any information most welcome,
