I am trying to track down my cousin and his wife and/or their descendants.
R is the son of Albert Amos Hoare & Lou Ellen Scott. He married (*) in 1965. They emigrated to Canada in the late '60's or early '70's.
Any help or information would be most welcome.

Well, there are several listings for R. Hoare in the Canadian online phone book, but no R's
However you might try this one:
Hoare R & P

Hi China
Thanks for your reply.
I had found that listing in the online phone book. Unfortunately it is not my cousin.
Regards
Dave

Ontario cemetery finding aid. Lots of Hoare names, and Lots for forenames begin with R!

(I have just been poking around RootsChat for Hoare (Cornwall/Devon in my case) posts and ran across this one. Since I'm in Canada, I thought I'd give it a go. It was a search for Albert Amos Hoare that popped it up -- fortunately, since these items are usually not available online after 15 years. I know it is not recent, and the query is a decade old, but I am posting it in case Dave is still receiving notifications and has not heard the sad news about his cousin, who died five years before Dave's query here.)

There are 29! remembrance submissions by friends and family that speak volumes about the man, and some might provide info by which the people could be contacted. Richard had no children, but did have extended family, and seems to have been a friend to everyone. :)
(I've sent some more specific info to Dave privately, since I see he's been at Rootschat this year.)

Do you have any idea in which part of the country they may have settled? I made contact with similarly long lost relations in New Zealand by inserting an appeal in a regional newspaper.
Include any personal information (occupation, interests and hobbies) that might attract attention and trigger memories, whilst respecting their right to privacy.
Even if they, or their family do not see it, someone else might and pass the message on, which is what happened in my case.

Another idea.
You might want to explore the services of the Salvation Army Family Tracing Service.
You will need to recognise that your cousin, or his family, may not want to have any contact with you.

Its great to see old threads picked up and nice to see the gentleman was found. Sad though it is to see Richard Stuart had passed away.

Sandra, I think that's the executor's business address; she has since retired. I had already sent Dave her current contact info.
Bentor Boy, perhaps you did not read my post. Dave's cousin had unfortunately died in 2006, and I have provided him with information about family members and contact details for a close individual at the time of his death.
-
Actually, I would strongly suggest removing the info about the executor, since that is a living person. The basic info was already available in the obituary I directed Dave to.
(Dave has replied to me privately, and was not aware until now of his cousin's death.)
Also, I should maybe clarify that when I said "It was a search for Albert Amos Hoare that popped it up", I meant that after reading Dave's post here, I did a Google search for Albert Amos Hoare and found the obituary for Rick. I assume that in 2010, the obituary was not available online.
