Hello

Does anybody who has world wide Ancestry sub mind doing a search for me?

I am looking for the birth of Roy Munroe circa 1893 in Canada. According to his marriage certificate in 1918 he was 25 born Canada Father Alfred Munroe deceased.

There is a birth in the Ontario births 1869 - 1909 for a Roy Harvey Munroe in Huron could the Father be Alfred?

Regards

Gary

Thanks for all the replies.

Maureen

I have the marriage in 1918 which gave me Roy Munroe's details and led me to trying to find his birth. I had not previously seen that depature in 1919 I have previously found an outbound for 1927 which seemed to fit.

Rose

After adding this post I also found them in 1901 and the attestation papers for the Roy you found are the the wrong ones. A few years ago I followed this line and found details on google that took that family back to the USA. Unfortunately the marriage put on Ancestry recently scuppered that idea as Roy Fear Munroe's parents were Williard and Lois.

Once again thanks for taking the time to looking.

Regards

Gary
