Seeking information on Byron Brown Chalmers, born November 28, 1887,
Coatbridge, Scotland, deceased Hamilton, Ontario c.1947
Parents:
John Chalmers, born c. 1863.
Robertina (Robina) Chalmers, nee Mearns, born c. 1864.
Married Bessie Ross Chalmers, nee MacKay, January 30, 1913, Airdrie,
deceased, 1920, Glasgow, post surgical complications.
One daughter, Margaret Hopkin Chalmers, born 1913, d'csd 1984, Bethesda,
Maryland, USA.
Two other siblings, details, etc. unknown, purportedly male and killed in
action while serving in HM Canadian Forces, WWII.
Subsequent to his wife's death, Byron Brown Chalmers' family emigrated to
the Toronto area where he remarried. It appears that there was a schism in
the family when daughter Margaret married a Catholic and she subsequently
emigrated to Jamaica, British West Indies c. 1946.
Any information on the Canada sojurn would be welcome.
Thank you,
