will I ever find out about Rose?

[sutfolxob]

My aunt and uncle Thomas and Elizabeth Blower and their daughter Rose Blower emigrated to Canada in the mid 1920s and lived in Hamilton Ontario.  I know about Thomas and Elizabeth, through the kind help of rootschatters, but I cannot find out about Rose.
She would have married in Hamilton between 1928-1934
I think, I do have a photograph but no name or date on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Have you tried the Hamilton Public Library:

Thank you Josephine for your suggestion and I have looked on the Hamilton library site, but as I live in England and there is no chance of my visiting the library I do not think it
could help.
Our library system is very good as I have no doubt Canada's is, but, one has to make a personal visit and
search they do not do it for you, in any case I do not know dates of either marriage or death.     regards Molly

Oh, I'm sorry!  I went to the library's website just now and I couldn't find a "Contact Us" link.  That wasn't too helpful, was it?

Perhaps if you contact the Hamilton branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, they might be able to help:

Maybe they have access to more recent marriages or an index.

If that fails, do you know when Thomas and Elizabeth died?  If so, and if they died after Elizabeth got married, you could request a copy of their obits, which should list her by her married name and might even give her husband's name ("Mrs. Bob Smith", for example).  Also, if you know where they were buried, you could write to the cemetery and funeral home in case they have Elizabeth's info.

This can all be done long-distance!  ;  )

This page on the site has quite a number of email addresses:

Thanks, kintree!

I was looking for the usual "Contact Us" button and didn't think to look under "Library Board and Management"!  ;  )

Thanks Josephine
I have been in contact with a lady with the same surname
so when we have exchanged our information who knows
we may be getting close. thank you again for your help.

Good luck, Molly!  ;  )

The thing I like about genealogy is there is always another clue out there just waiting to be found!

Regards,
Josephine

This seems to be the third installment of queries I have found regarding Rose Blower "Rus"...( surname found By KarenM after contacting cemetery) I'd find the link, but Molly, you should have linked these all together by now ...
There is now a Joseph Rus burial in Wentworth in the cemetery link given you on the other postings...

If you have written to all Hamilton Rus, now try writing the others that are nearby, easy to see what is local by using google maps and just putting in hamilton On and you'll see Brampton, Whitby, etc...are not all that far away...
A notice in the Hamilton spectator wouldn't hurt either...we have probably helped all we can in your searches...
However, with all these postings, I am sure if there are any Rus searching out Rose's information, they'll find you here! J.J.
