My ROSS family settled in New Zealand in the 1860's. I have a William Fraser Ross born in Port Adelaide, Australia parents William and Mary nee Blyth, then married Mary Susan FIELDS and had 11 children. William however died in Chicago on the 25th June 1893 and his body was brought back to New Zealand and he was buried in October 1893. I am wondering what was he doing in Chicago and maybe he was visiting family.Is there anyone out there who has Ross's or Blyth's in Chicago at that time? Any suggestions gratefully received.
