Joanne,

I am a Parsons from Montreal. I have a cousin Ralph who was born in Montreal but moved away either to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia when I was still a teenager. I believe he had two daughters. But his father was Harold Andrew Russell Parsons. The name he went by was Russell. Ralph's Mother's name was Iris and I think her maiden name was Cartwright. My father's name is William Henry Garnett Parsons. He goes by the name Garnett. THey were all born in Montreal.

Ralph has one brother. His name is George. Our Grandparents were Tobias Parsons, born on the Gooseberry Islands, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland and Isabella Fowler, born in England. Tobias' parents were Henry Parsons and Charlotte Wells , Gooseberry Islands.
