David, this may be a longshot but I am looking for a John Alexander Page born
Whiteabbey Ireland 1883, died Toronto Canada. His parents were Joseph Page and
Margaret Patterson married 22 April 1878 in 2nd Carrickfergus (Joymount)
Presbyterian Church in Antrim Ireland. Margarets father is listed as John
Patterson (labourer). I don't think John's parents came over to Canada with him.

We can't seem to find where the middle name "Alexander" came from and I thought
maybe from Margaret's side of the family. Anything sound familiar in your
searches?
Jackie in Canada
