Surnames: Forbes (Forbis) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DYC.2ACE/415.370.1 Message Board Post: Yes, this certainly does ring a bell. According to my great grandmother Sarah Forbis's death certificate it indicated that her father's name was John Forbes (Forbis) and that her mother's name was Ellen Marshall and that they were both born in Ireland. It also said that she was born in Paris, Ontario in 1838. Any further information you have on this marriage and this family would be most welcome. Thanks for responding to by inquiry.
