Please post comments and queries about the Thomas MONKMAN family here.

[Eileen Hamilton]

the picture of William Monkman family posted on Thomas Alexander Family. Please remove. The picture shows 12 children, 11 of whom are Williams. No one can identify the 1 odd child. I have pictures that I would like on there instead. Please inform of the steps for having pictures posted.

Will do Eileen.
I was hoping you might have some pictures that could be added. Simply send them to me as an Email Attachment.
I look forward to that, and I can add them to the narrative. Thanks

I'm also moving your last comments from the Topic William MONKMAN here, where they are more relevant:

Eileen posted: I was still bothered about this female who was said to have been born to Thomas/Maggie Monkman. I remembered my Dad, Percy Monkman, had said he was told he had a sister named Elizabeth but that is all he knew. There are no living members of my Dads family. I phoned the oldest son of Oliver Monkman Sr. and he agreed that there was an Elizabeth who died. His father had mentioned her. Oliver Monkman Sr. was my dads oldest brother. I spent hours searching and finally traced it down.
Elizabeth Monkman born 1910 Died 1918 during flu epidemic. Census 1901 she was 9 months old.

As you can see Eileen, I have already mentioned daughter Elizabeth in the narrative. I agree she probably died in the flu epidemic.

Thanks very much for sending the photos Eileen. However, most of them belong to the next generation. I will save them for a later Family Page for your parents’ family (Percy’s family), etc.

I was hoping for pictures of Maggie and/or the elder Thomas Alex (b-1882), and perhaps an early family picture that would be more relevant to his generation. Also, please note that I need more details (dates, etc) in order to properly complete his narrative.

Date of Percy and Ruth Monkman's wedding is January 16, 1941

[Eileen Hamilton]

Thomas (Tiny) Monkman married Joyce Lorraine Bialek August of 1943
Also I do have a picture of Grandfather Thomas Alexander and Maggie (Scott) Monkman. If I can find it.
It is very hard to get dates specific to pictures because all the elders have passed on.
I do have a picture of Thomas Alexander Monkman's 4 sons taken in 1983. Do you want this picture to post to their Dad's History? Also have 1 picture of Julia with Leonard Settee. As our familys cross mingle, I am not sure where to post this picture however she is Thomas Monkmans only daughter who surivied the Epidemic.

Thanks Eileen. We’re making progress.

Yes, please do send me all those photos. Certainly some of them will go with this narrative, others I can keep on file for later updates.
