Notes |
- Internet research shows that John Graham Oliver Cowdy was one of the 'Barr Colonists' who left England for Canada in 1903. For more on the Barr Colonists see http://www.afhs.ab.ca/data/barr/ (and other websites).
According to http://leirtech.com/rick/ancestry/cowdy/JGOCowdy.html (Rick Leir's website):
"... farmed a quarter section near Marshall, Saskatchewan. He farmed until 1912, then built and operated a dry-goods store there in partnership with a Mr. Garrish until 1919. He married Edith Annie Ricketts in that year *. They returned to England, and after a period in the building business at Dover, he farmed at Egerton, Kent for the rest of his life. They had three children: Philip, Edith Ruth, and Jessie."
* their marriage was registered in Kings Norton, Birmingham in Q3 1919 - it's unclear whether they met in Canada.
