Knowles of British Columbia (Purser, Fallardeau)
Darlene Heal 11/06/10
I am a daughter of Anna Jane McCowan and Robert Knowles.I was born in 1955 in Victoria, BC.After my father died, my mother, Anna, kept in touch with Jean Knowles a sister of Robert Gordon Knowles (Bobby as he was known to the family).I remember that Bobby was always described as being "very sickly". My mother thought Bobby had a form of TB, which killed his mother when the children were young.
Jean and Bobby were the only children from that marriage.Jean moved to the US, married and was living a very stable life in Oregon, USA.I am under the impression it was Portland.She had children and grandchildren.My mother was very found of Jean, often saying that she was a very genuine and thoughtful person.I do not remember Jean's married name, however, I have an older brother and sister and I will find out what her last name was and exactly where she was living.Hope this helps.
