Hi, thanks for your reply. Coming from Monaghan, Ireland would be from the right location, although the date of birth is later than what I would have believed.
I am quite interested in any further information you might be able to provide. I don't believe that there could have been that many Robert Beatty's in those parts at that time, so it would still seem likely that there is some sort of a connection.
Thanks,
Bruce
