Hi could anyone help to show me how to change the heading on this thread so it can include the heading CANADA. thanks ali

Ok thats a good idea. thanks dea.

Hi,

I can't find anything more at the moment but you might like to add a '??Canada' ?? to your title which will draw this to the attention of people over there.

SO............

It looks like the baby 'could' have been born in Canada and remained there when Robina returned to England??

Thank you Aveyronnaise,

It must be the 'New Year Spirit' kicking in there - I knew I had got confused somewhere! - You are quite right and that makes a lot more sense.

Hi D.
Lloyd was obviously Robinas father but florice was lloyds sister. We were led to believe that Robina had a son who she called russell born oct 1958 but we dont know who babys father was or if Robina stayed in the country. This is speculation but sometimes it turns out true. We were told the babys father was a Gi and she tried to persude him to come back to england. We cant find any listings of Robina anywhere only the one that you said went to quebec in 1958 which would tie in with the birth of the baby.....sorry this is all the info i have and i dont know if it is correct. Thanks Ali

Am I missing something, Dea? Surely Florice would be Robina's aunt - isn't she Lloyd's sister?

This does not make sense!

You said originally that Robina would be about 70 now which fits with the one I found.

However, she cannot be the sister of Florice and the daughter of Lloyd + Ada as there is too big an age gap??

Unless he married again and she is a half-sister to a much younger wife??

What other info do you have please?

Dea x

She was single and appeared to be travelling alone!

Do you think this might be the correct one then??

Thank You....I was wondering when Robina went to quebec canada 27th june 1958 did she take a baby with her called Russell or John. There were rumours that she had a baby with a canadian GI and took him there to try and form a family. Any info would be brilliant. Thanks Ali

Hi could anyone please help me find any information on Lloyd Pearsons family. He was quite a well known actor and had a daughter Robina 1937. I dont know who he married. I am still trying to find Robina Pearson or her nephew John A McDonagh. John was born in Bierley Yorkshire to Florice(nee pearson) and James A McDonagh in 1935. I have drawn a blank so far and would really apppreciate any help. Kind regards. Ali
