Banks and Leslie families 1930's

by

 

My husband's uncle Roy Alexander Mohrhardt was born in Tara, Ontario in 1919. When his mother Bertha (Locke)Mohrhardt died in 1931 while working at Alex Leslie's farm in Derby Twp. he & his sister & brother were orphaned. The Leslie's buried Bertha in their plot in Greenwood Cem. in Owen Sound. Then the children lived with their grandmother Mary Anne (Downey) Locke, Doig in Tara until she died in 1933 and they were separated and a family by the name of Banks took Roy into their family and educated him and treated him well. I'm not sure if they ever actually adopted him. I haven't been able to find any info on them but would like to know the story to add to our family tree.
