My Long Lost Relatives in Ontario,
Canada
|
|
Below
are pictures of Adam Robb and his niece
Mary S. Rowan,
also
known as May Rowan. I am trying to find out what happened to
them in the 1920's while they were in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
I would love to solve these mysteries !!
UPDATE! Mystery
solved after 12 years! Mary Sergeant Rowan married Bertrain Leonard
Rodwell, September 23, 1922 in Wentworth County, Ontario and died Dec 1,1923 in Los Angeles, CA.
at 22 years old. Now to find out why she died so young!
The
first
picture below is of Adam Robb in his CEF uniform. The second picture
is of Adam and his niece May S. Rowan taken about 1917 in Hamilton. The
third picture is May's wedding picture with her groom, Bert
Rodwell.
Below
are pictures of Adam and May together with the personal information
that I have been able to obtain on them. It
appears from the photo sleeves that these photos were taken at
Morgan's Studio, 64 Victoria
Ave N, Hamilton, Ontario.
