Hi Irene

Good to hear back from you.   I will send you a personal message.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat.

It is great to be in contact with a McMillan relative :)   How are you connected to Robert Shaw McMillan and how far back have you got with his family ???   

I know he was married to Agnes Harley and that his parents were Robert McMillan 1818-1882 and Jane/Janet Hamilton 1819-1889, both born and married in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland.   I believe Robert's father was James McMillan, but that is about as far as I can get - Irish records for this period don't seem to be available.

Do you know when Robert Shaw and wife Agnes died, as I have drawn a blank there as well ???

Canada / Re: Ontario divorce records.

Yes, that thought had occurred to me, especially as John remarried in England not Canada.

Unfortunately the only record I have found of his second marriage is the 'civil' one which just gives their names, no details.

Might there be any information on his 'de-mob' papers, when he left the RCAF - presumably at the end of the war - and are they accessible ???

Many thanks for that link Sandra.   I have emailed Archives, but unfortunately I can only guess that John and Elizabeth were living in Hamilton and that the divorce took place somewhere between 1938 and 1948.

I will let you know if anything turns up.

I have now started a thread on the Canada site - with the reference back to the USA site as you suggested.

Many thanks for all your help.

Canada / Ontario divorce records.
« on: Tuesday 28 November 17 16:39 GMT (UK)  »
I started this thread on the USA site (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=783186).

I am looking for the divorce of John Edwin Bach from his first wife Elizabeth P Thompson.   They were married in Cook County, Ill. USA on 07.08.1931.   John was born in NY 1902 and Elizabeth was born in Albion, Nebraska 1903.

I believe John and Elizabeth moved to Ontario Canada (probably Toronto) in 1934 or 1935.   In Sept. 1940 there was a report in a Hastings NY paper saying that John was a flying officer in the RCAF stationed at Trenton, Ontario.

In 1948 John married his second wife in Berkshire, England. where they subsequently lived.   So the divorce must have been sometime between the late 1930's and 1948.   I suspect that John was with the RCAF in England at some point and that was when he met his second wife Kitty (Kathleen) Dyke.

Any help tracing this divorce would be very welcome.

Hi shelleyesq

Thankyou so much for all that.   Yes it is them.   I hadn't realised that they lived in Canada, so maybe that is where I should look for their divorce.

Not sure how to get this transferred to the Canada site ???

Many thanks,

Joan

I'm looking for a divorce record for John Edwin Bach from his first wife Elizabeth P Thompson.   They were married in Cook County, Ill. 07.08.1931, but he married his second wife in England in June 1948.   So the divorce must have been between those two dates.   I believe they lived in the NY area.  Can anyone help please?  Joan
