Catherine and John had 2 children:
Mary Graham born June 12, 1917 and died on November 7, 1985 in Toronto, Ontario. She is buried with her mother in Pine Hills Cemetery. Mary was 1st married to Albert Allan Watterton in 1937 and they had one son - Allan Michael Watterton in 1938. Albert passed away in 1939.
Her 2nd husband was Wallace Dennis Hogan. They were married in 1945. They had 2 children: LaRosa Ann Middleton (Hogan) and Joseph Richard Hogan.
I am currently looking for information on the Watterton's (Waterton) family, Graham's and Hogan's.
I am still adding to my family tree and hope you enjoy it.
If you have any information on either the Graham's, Watterton's (Waterton) or Hogan families it would be greatly appreciated.
You can either enter it in the guest book or e-mail me at:
