England - PAUL ALOYSIUS ROUTE came to England and married MARTHA TRAIN Their son, PAUL ALBERT ROUTE (11th July 1881 - 19th October 1929), was born in Church Lane, High Street, Hull. Paul Aloysius was drowned when his son was about 6 months old - lost overboard in the North Sea (off the Dogger Bank). Paul Albert was subsequently educated at the Newland Home. He was a hairdresser by profession, and was married in January 1909 to OLIVE ANN KINGDOM.
