There is a marriage for a Marion Boomer in 1942 to John Jennings in this country but I can't see a birth for Marion.

Birth for a Marion Boomer in Manchester 1917 which matches place of marriage.

EDIT: Not the correct family.

This is probably William Boomer travelling in 1912

BRILLIANT PAM !!! The Marion b1917 in Manchester isn't the correct one though.I have her birth certificate,born 1903 in Barrow-in-Furness..

Yesterday I supplied Paul with three addresses from Canadian (Montreal) phone book.

One particular address ties in with the address on a postcard he has from the 1960s.

You can leave 'virtual flowers' on those pages if you join the site, and you could say you would like to contact family.

Also, the person who created the pages is willing to transfer management of the pages 'outside the guidelines' that is even to non-direct descendants.
(I found an ancestor's sister buried in the same cemetery when we had never known she and her husband spent time in Montreal ... never knew of her existence actually ... and that findagrave member transferred her page to me.)

This is Ancestry's transcription of James's marriage

Name: Armisteas
Spouse: Boomer
Event: Mariage (Marriage)
Marriage Year: 1929
Marriage Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Religion: Presbyterian
Place of Worship or Institution: Presbyterian Maisonneuve Church

It actually says James N Boomer and Ethel Armistead.



probably daughter Elizabeth's marriage

Name: Elizabeth Bourner [Elizabeth Boomer]
Spouse: George Kenneth Wallace
Event: Mariage (Marriage)
Marriage Year: 1926
Marriage Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Religion: Presbyterian
Place of Worship or Institution: Presbyterian Maisonneuve Church

Two people at Ancestry have corrected the name to Boomer; one of them is named Wallace.
