FOWLER of Saskchewan and England

[J.J.]

Or...looking into the freebmd there are these births!
June quarter 1921
John J Fowler
mother's surname: Downey   
Toxteth P.  / 8b / 298

Sept quarter 1925
Gladys Fowler
mother's surname: Downey
Liverpool / 8b / 327

which is not to say they didn't come back at some point if this is their lot.
 (Altho there is also a Downey / Fowler marriage 1918 Toxteth Park, Lancs which could also account for these births)

Hi Dennis,
I note a reference to a destination for Ernest as Moose Jaw.
I had and believe still have Fowler family living there.
Your Ernest may not be from my clan, all mine came via Scotland-but
you never know.
My cousin in UK has all the info on Moose Jaw.  Would you like me to enquire.

I expect you have this but here it is anyway
1906 census for Saskatchewan, Ernest is a servant aged 22 in the household of
Mary Yerxa a widow with large family.
His migration date is 1903.
Also there is Charles E Woodstock, servant, aged 21.  Migrated in 1897.
Let you know if anything else crops up.
