Just found a Barbara Ross born 1854 listed in the 1881 Halifax, Nova Scotia Census listed as wife of my Grandfather Andrew Ross born 1853. I always suspected he was married twice. Does anyone have Barbara Ross in their genealogy? Did Barbara die before he married Eleanor Studivan or were Barbara and he divorced? Thanks for any information. It is possible Barbara's given name was Webber since this family lived next door to them and my father, before he died in 1956, once told us Uncle Charles Webber was his half-brother.

Hi, Jennie, Do you happen to know where in England your Alexander Ross was born? The reason I ask is that my 5 g'father was Alexander Ross, b prob in the early 1700's in Scotland. He was "Alexander Ross of Balnagowen/Balnagowan." And the given name of Alexander has been used many times since my 4 g'grandmother, Jane Ross, married William ROBERTSON, of Monymusk, Sct. Jane is the only child that I know of, and I don't even know what Alexander's wife's name was. If you have any info on this family, I'd be eternally grateful for any help you can give me! Thanks a lot for any help, and thanks a lot even if you can't help...you at least read through this! Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC)
