Find Ancestors

Hi, Would anyone who has access to the Ancestry World, be willing to do a look up for me please. I think you can look up the state census for 1930.

Francis Ralph Bothwell in Vancouver Canada.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
Regards, Lou

Hi Lindylu, Yes Francis was born in 1917, I don't know where but would guess Vancouver. His parents were William John & Catherine (Katie).

Lou

Hi Lindylu, Sorry had to get the washng in as it had started raining.

Thomas Henry Bothwell could well be his brother as his father's name was that, so thank you for that little gem, will try and chekc it out. Ireland is a puzzler though, as I believe the Bothwell family came from Scotland,

Great news on Francis Ralph's birth date, tha'ts him for certain as that's his death date.

Can you find his marriage please?

Thanks again for your brilliant work. Lou

Have you seen the obituary for his wife, Elizabeth?

Hi Lindylu, Lisa & Lianne,

Wow! what can I say thanks to you all for offering to help me.

Lindylu, Sorry I may have misled you, As far as I know he only married the once, Elizabeth was his wife but I understand she could have been known as Betty, that's why I put both names. Sorry, do you have their marriage date?

ILianne, 've not looked for immigration from Ireland to Canada as a member on here told me all Bothwells came from Scotland, and I took him for his word, so will have to start on that, Thanks.

Lisa, I've not seen any obituary for his wife.

The info is correct, he married Catherine Parr.

I think I may have found a sibling for Francis Ralph Bothwell.

Can any of you confirm for me a Florence Mildred Dora Bothwell b 1919 parent's are William & Catherine Bothwell?

Thanks again to all of you for your brilliant detective work. Regards, Lou

Lou, I'll send you the obit, as it mentions Elizabeth's goddaughter (don't want to post living people). There is quite a bit of information on Ancestry from the world tree that LindyLu and Lianne found (but I won't include that).

Hi Lianne, & Lindylu

Lianne, That's fantastic thank you so very much. I have been stuck on this family for a while now. But with the help on his siblings and parents I can go further back.

Lindylu, Thank you, that's brilliant I wasn't aware of any death date for Elizabeth.

I am overwhelmed and can't thank you all enough, this is a great breakthrough for me. and Lindylu, I have now found the person on Ancestry and have sent a message. Thanks again, Lou
