I am seeking information about two sisters, Emma and Ruth Northfield, both of Harston. They were born about 1870/71 and were probably the daughters of James Northfield. Emma came to Canada and eventually married a Joseph McKay Bannerman -- an early city councillor in Calgary, Alberta -- sometime after 1907. She was his second wife. Emma died in 1917 in Banff, Alberta. Sometime after that, Joseph married her sister Ruth (his third wife). Joseph died in 1932 in Calgary ... and Ruth (Northfield) Bannerman apparently died back in Harston, England. Would appreciate any information about these Northfield sisters, e.g., when they came to Canada and with whom, and their family background. Thx.
