Hi Janet.
It is nice to see that these message boards really work! James Cowper Chalmers was my
great grandfather.He married Elizabeth Jessie Dunsmore, they had 6 boys, one of whom was
my grandfather, James Duncan Chalmers, b1892 in Saltcoats, d1955 in Quebec. Nearly all
came to Canada.I have many pictures of my grandfather and his brothers of which we have
had to guess who was who.James married in 1916 to Blanche Bee Wilbur. They had 3 children
one of whom was my mother - Dora, b1917, d2006. She married in 1942 and I was born in
1944. Presently I live with my wife, Carol in Shelburne, Ontario, Can.
Something tells me that I know who you are. So going out on a limb, I am going to say that
you have 2 sisters, one I know lives in Brisbane Australia. Her name is Kathleen Chalmers,
and your father was Hector Chalmers, son of Thomas Chalmers, brother to James Cowper
Chalmers.
No, I have not been cyber snooping, Kathleen got in touch with me several months ago and
we have exchanged a number of emails. She has also granted me access to her family web
site on Ancestry.
So, if I am all wet on this, please excuse the assumption, ignore the above paragraph, and
we can start all over in the next round!
In any event, please get in touch with me directly at dandcandrews(a)yahoo.ca.
Regards, David Andrews
