Find Ancestors

Great grandmother was reported to have married in Canada between 1911 and 1913.

Rhoda Emily Geach born 1892
William Bray born 1879

Also from family history she might have returned to America/Canada in 1930? Can find no death certificate for her here?


Many thanks for any help

Thanks Stephanie

that is my Rhoda Emily Geach xxx

I'm not having much luck but I came across the following on Rootsweb and wondered if this John Geach might be an uncle of your Rhoda? He had a daughter called Rhoda.

My maternal ggrandmother was Charlotte Louise EADES, b. England cir.
1850,d. May 6, 1918, Listowel, Ontario; d/o John and Ann Eades, Novar,
Ontario; sister to William John Eades, Novar, Ontario. Interment
Fairview Cemetery, Listowel, Ontario.
Married: Nov. 15, 1873, John GEACH, (Rev.) b. Cornwall, England, May 29,
1853, he emigrated to London, Ontario, Canada at the age of 16 yr.d.
July 25, 1932, Listowel, Ontario. Survived by two sisters in England and
three sons, Roger Geach, Bloomingdale, Ontario; Harry and Roy Geach of
Toronto, Ontario; one daughter Clara (Geach) Lampman of Wellandport,
Ontario. Predeased by a daughter Rhoda (Geach) Perrin and son John
Geach. Interment Fairview Cemetery, Listowel, Ontario.
Would welcome any additional family history, particularly pertaining to
England, siblings and ancestors.
Howard,
London, Ontario, Canada.

No not mine, well i don't think so ?

Both William and Rhoda came from cornwall and according to family he did visit canada/america twice.
So thought she might have gone over with him and got married over there?
All there children were born in cornwall, my gran being the first in 1914.

Hope this helps

You don't think there's a chance that the John Geach in Canada could be a brother of your Rhoda's father Edwin?
Isn't this your Edwin on the 1861 census and he has an older brother John who matches the age of the Canadian one.

1861 census
Trebudanon? Lane, St Colomb Major, Cornwall
John Geach, head, 32, ag lab, born St. Colomb
Mary Ann, wife, 35, born Kenwyn, Cornwall
William, son, 8, scholar, born Mawgan, Cornwall
John, son, 6, scholar, born St. Colomb
Edwin, son, 2, born St. Colomb

Says Rhoda went missing in 1930 and was never seen again!!!

ok
That does look like the family in 1861

had to check the tree.
Edwin Geach b1858 did have two brothers
John born 1855
William 1853

Now im confused ?

Thanks Margaret

I am in touch with Sharon as we are related but thought somebody might find something we had missed, thats why i thought she had gone back to canada/america

Many thanks for your time
