Robert Clare Symons (1948).
I was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, July 26, 1948, son of William Paul Symons and Barbara Ruth Sutherland. My maternal ancestors are from Scotland. My paternal ancestors are from England. I attended public school & high school in St. Catharines, Ontario.
I first came to Kitchener-Waterloo in 1967 as a co-op math student at the University of Waterloo. I lived in residence at St. Paul's College, and a few of us went to Trinity United, Kitchener twice a week to sing in the choir. Helen & I were married at Trinity in 1973 and we have two grown children and one grand-daughter, at time of writing this biography (2017).
I have worked at:

"Aunt Ila" (aka Ida) was born in 1909 and my maternal grandfather, Melvin, was born in 1912. They stayed with Edward after their mother, Clarice, died in the Swine Flu Epidemic of 1919.
Other sources of my information also come from Edward & Kitty's family bible, which my oldest Worden uncle has.

Thank you for merging the Thomas Worden profiles. Now that the parents are merged, I've edited the profiles for the children. You may want to check them all out. There are a few additions and changes, all according to The History of Ogle County, Illinois, 1878.
Are you a Worden family relative? How come you don't have any family at all connected to your profile & family tree?

I have marriage and all info from 1811 on.
