I am named after this man, one of my great grandfathers. His daughter, my grandmother Jean Dunn, died long before I was born but my grandfather John Timms was still alive, so that may be why. There are no persons named Roger on the Timms side.

In the 1881 census, he and Margaret and some of the children are living with his parents. The entry is as follows:

Where is Jean? She was supposed to have been born in 1879.

He appears in the 1909 - 1910 London city directory in Nissouri at Lot 26, Concession 2.

I have a codicil to his will from June 10, 1930. He grants the trustees of the North Presbyterian Church in West Nissouri $50 to help maintain the burying ground or cemetery.

I am guessing at the year of their marriage from what is in the 1930 census and the birth dates for their children. Something must be wrong though unless the firs child was born prior to their marriage.

Roger was a fascinating man. He was always full of enthusiasm for life. Even later in life when he had two artificial hips he used to ride his motorcycle around the farm. He had a vast knowledge of farming and of trees. In is youth, he was quite a runner, participating in many local races.
