William Aiken
I am looking for information about my husband's grandfather. His name was William John Aiken and he came to Canada from Ireland. We think that he was born about 1877. We do not know when he came to Canada but he married Rose Steele on April 22, 1922. They had 4 children and lived in Alberta when she died giving birth to another child. He left the 4 children with her sisters and brothers in Saskatchewan and went back to Ireland. There were a few letters from him but not much information. He died in Derg Valley Hospital on Oct. 26, 1964 and was buried in Killettes churchyard. His wife Fanny was ill at the time of his death. He also had a nephew named Andie Aiken that lived in Omagh and worked on the railway. If anyone can help us with this, we would appreciate it.
