Find Ancestors

Just seen this above- must have been blind earlier:

"Married ? Barbara Agnes Sophia Forsyth one son David born in Glasgow 1947"

Does the ? mean you are not sure about marriage or about the son? If you are sure, then get the birth and marriage cert from scotlandspeople.

Looking at the CWGC record for the memorial record Maureen posted, he was in the Royal Canadian Airforce, and his parents, Robert and Anne, were living in Port Arthur, Ontario.

Ian, have you deleted one of your posts? I thought there was reference to a David, JD's son?

Due to the confusion over his POB, I think you need to start at the "end" and work backwards.

How have you got back to John D? What actual facts do you know about him? If he married and had children, when and where? If he had children in Scotland, their birth certs will give the place and date of the parents' marriage and if he married in Scotland, both his parents will be named on his marriage cert.

You say you found John's marriage cert to Barbara.

What details did it give for his father on there please?

Re John Dennis Wallace the family are adamant he was born in Canada 1924.
Is there any details for a John D Wallace Canadian B 1924 arriving into the UK after his birth in 1924 we know he married in 1946 Glasgow

This looks like him - He was a Dairyman - address 14 Piershill Rd. Edinburgh.

Hi
I would like to ask if someone could please check to see there is a ships log showing when Robert Wallace born 1895 (husband of Annie above) left Scotland for Canada it must have been around 1923-1928 on his marriage cert 1921 he is given as dairy farmer.

Hi Dea
Thanks for that genealogy link it may well come in handy for me

Unfortunately Canada is very strict on these things.

This is the site you would use for births etc. in Saskatchewan but it tells you quite clearly what you can and can't access.

Each state/Province has it's own rules but they are pretty much all the same.

Hi Dea
Thanks for your note I will have to try that.
I was hoping that there would be just a note record of birth like we have over here Jan - Mar BDM

You could take a chance on ordering that 1989 death cert - the birth date at least is the same and it may mention where he was born?

Also the name of the informant could be useful if it was a family member.

I think that the Privacy Laws in Canada prevent any details on a birth from being made available to the Public unless they are more than 100 years ago.

Hi

Just received new details from a member of the family saying that she believes John Dennis Wallace was born in Saskatchewan on 8th feb 1924.

This puts a big question mark on all of the data found today
can anyone check for this birth for me

I think the son of Robert and Ann* who end up in Thunder Bay is:
