Anna Bella Colhoun / Clarke

[Neale1961]

I could not find a marriage for this couple in Ireland. Has any one else had any luck?
Perhaps they were married in Canada?

I know we should be careful with online trees but, if accurate, this info might help find some about Annie (birth reg has Annie Bella but that name configuration hasn't helped with searches).

Trees have 3 brothers for Annie who apparently died in Toronto so my thought is that obits for them might give some insight about Annie and Robert if someone would look for same?

Samuel Colhoun
B. 10 Jan 1888 Co Tyrone
Wife Agnes McBride, married in Toronto in 1920 (available on Ancestry but mother given as Harriet Thompson?)
D. 11 Mar 1970 in Toronto

Joseph Colhoun
B. 24 Dec 1891 Co Tyrone
Wife Anne Jane Colquhoun, married 1922 (doesn't say where)
D. 28 Sep 1953 in Toronto

Robert James Colhoun
B. 03 Oct (?...see later) 1885 Co Tyrone
Wife Elizabeth Josephine Cuthbert, married 1918 (doesn't say where)
D. 03 Jan 1958 in Willowdale (Toronto)

Robert James and Elizabeth Josephine have a stone on findagrave. This gives a birthdate for Robert of 03 Nov 1885. No family info.
This couple are in Canada in the 1921 census. Robert apparently originally arrived in 1912.
Looks like Robert served in WW1.

I don't see anything on findagrave for the other two brothers at the moment.

Well, not much luck so far. Thanks for taking the time to look RK.

The obits do give the names of a couple cemeteries the OP could try contacting.

I found a Joseph Colhoun who died 25 Sept 1955...could this be the Joseph from this family?? (I can't find one who died 28 Sept 1953)

Obit in the Globe and Mail, 28 Sept 1955, page 25.   It says Joseph Colhoun died Sunday Sept 25 1955 in Toronto.  Husband of Jean Whyte Colhoun.  Interment Resthaven Memorial Gardens.

No mention of other family...and no age given.

Good suggestion polarbear - knew you would be here to explore the Colhoun family today RK - great finds - shame they don't mention Anna Bella but was definitely worth a go, those dates were helpful.
