Hello,
I've hit a dead end when it comes to finding a birth or death record of my great grandfather John Thomas Owen born about 1874 in Lincolnshire England. He is listed on several census's and while he was seemingly married to my great grandmother Ellen Bark I also have been having a difficult time locating a marriage certificate.
Since I am all the way over in Canada I wonder if there is a genealogist for hire someone can recommend to get me over this maddening dead end?
This is what I know:
Census 1901 - Living in Oxcombe Lincolnshire
Census 1911 - Living in Burton, South Carlton & North Carlton
Wife is Ellen Bark. He must have died before 1919 as Ellen came to Canada in the end of that year to marry. They had 7 children of which only 3 survived.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenna Owen
