 Hello
Frank Towers was born 29 Jan 1881 Salisbury, England and on 3/11/1927 went to Canada arriving 11/11/ 1927 in Quebec. He goes to stay with his brother Alfred James Towers. Franks wife stayed in England.

Record on Ancestry shows Frank died 21/11/1942 in York ,Toronto . His son George Towers was the informant. His address given as RCAF station S?enton---such bad writing I wonder if someone could help with the name of the station and perhaps how I could find out Georges service number.

I have not been able to find where Frank Towers was buried and wonder if someone could help on that . I think the undertakers were Mathews Burial services but again writing is hard to read--sorry. Any other information on Frank Towers appreciated.

Thank You .

Not sure whether  i should post on this board or Co Fermanagh Ireland.Hoping someone can help.

Robert Bryans was born about 1843 in  Gallon in Co Fermanagh and dies I believe  25/12/1879 Philadelphia.
His parents Alexander Bryans and Mary Anne Bussell are  from Co Fermanagh, Ireland --but they did not move to America.
I believe a record on  the document Pennsylvania wills and probate 1683-1993 on Ancestry  is for him. Document Signed by a Henry Byrans --a brother born around 1851 Ireland and i think his brother in law Thomas Irvine married to Roberts sister Isabella.
Will talks about his wife Eliza--but who is she and were did they married?? Ireland or America/Canada. I only list Canada as often folks travelled there first. But I have no shipping records.
Will mentions son Alexander--but when and were was he born. Will also mentions children--but do  not  name them.
Sorry no further information . Keen to learn more about Robert  and his family.
Many thanks.

I would like to establish the correct date of Birth for Martha Ross from Bessbrook Co Armagh  and therefore who her parents are ..
I know her father was James Ross 1838-1886 . Her mother ( depending on Marthas DOB)  could be Mary Boyd 1835-1909 or a unknown ist wife perhaps Johnson.

There are different dates given for Martha depending on what records you look at. 
A number of trees have her DOB as 1858. Her Father James marries in 1860 and goes on to have a number of other children. So was he married before. His DOB is a guess .

On the 1901 Irish census return for Mullaglass, Armagh she is shown as 33 and living with Mary ( a widow) and her brother William James Ross(24) . On the 1911 return Martha is  in Belfast . Age 45. Living at Hillman street with her brother William  James shown as 32.
 I have checked groni and can find no birth record for her.
On 3/3/1925 she marries David Bell at Townsland Presbyterian Church. Record on Groni.

Martha dies 23/4/1942 aged 79 ? Belfast. The record is  on Groni and her age is from the information on it. Her brother James T Ross is the informant. Her husband dies latter that year 16/9/1942 and James T Ross is the informant.
 
And now another possible age for Martha. On the gravestone inscription at Bessbrook Presbyterian Church  Martha Bell ( nee Ross ) her age is given as 82.

So i hope you can understand why i am a little confused.
As i said i would like to establish --as close as possible-- Martha's date of birth and therefore parents. I  am also interested in any information about her brother William James Ross who is aged 32 on the 1911 census .

Very many Thanks.

There is a Obituary for him with the British Newspaper Archive --Northern Wig . But I am dong something wrong as i am unable to find it.
Hoping someone might have more success and wouldn't mind  me what it says. Any other information about him would be great.
Very many Thanks
