Correction. He has English ancestry as well. Found info on his mother’s family. Rowan is the daughter of Victor J Marsh and Patrcia R. Victor was born in England. Can’t find his father’s name, but his mom’s name was Sylvia Annie. Can’t find Patricia’s maiden name, but according to records was born in Canada.
The proof is in these shipping records. Found the records of Rowan with her mom and paternal grandmother going to England and an earlier one of her parents going to England.
