Trying to find descendents of John Robert Falcus and his wife Dorothy Ann nee Kinghorn married 1916 Gateshead, County Durham UK and emigrated to Canada I believe 1920s or 1930s. |

Looking at Cdn records at Ancestry, it does seem that there were Falcus-s in Canada before 1911 -- and they were in British Columbia.

I googled "John Robert Falcus" and came up with this relating to the patent of an invention. Is he your John Robert? The date was 1930. |

Interesting, the patent! Wonder whether it's expired, or been continued, and who the registered owner would be now, or the last one. |
