Vincent and Johanna Ooms & family , Belgium / Canada.

[WOoms]

Hello my name is Wayne and i am new to this Forum, i joined because i have exhausted all my options here in Canada and hope to lean on everyone with experience in this field,

So here i go, I am searching for Vincent Ooms who was born in Belgium, Balen or Rijsberg in 1879
he married a Johanna last name and date unknown ? and they had 6 children
Frans, {my  grandfather} Andre, Charles, Alphonse, Ferdinand, Marie.

The family farmed in this region and immigrated to Canada in 1921.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you

If you modify your post, and change the title to something like "Ooms, Belgium", it might catch the eyes of some of the Belgium specialists who are also members?

there is a Vincent and johnanna ooms in the 1921 Canada census in Saskatchewan so they immigrated earlier than you thought?

all the children were born Belgium and the parents both give all their parents birthplaces as Belgium too

Vincent Ooms born Bailey aged 41 arrived 11 Mar 1920 aboard Scotian at Saint John, New Brunswick from Antwerp, Belgium


with him were Johanna, frans ,andre, Charles, alphonse, Ferdinand (b 1914) and maria(b1915)
