I have found the death of one of their children, George David Dacre, tragically killed in a railroad yard accident in Kamloops in June 1935.
I believe there were possibly two or three more children who possibly lived in Port Coquitlam.
Can anybody help with my research into this family or that of WILLIAM HENRY DACRE and FANNY ELIZABETH GAMBLE.

Hi,
Have you looked at http://www.canada411.ca/ to locate Dacre family members in Port Coquitlam ?
http://www.canada411.ca/
Richard Albert Dacre - born 1903 - age 79 years - died 20 July 1982 New Westminster.
Informant was a son. Could be W A Dacre
http://www.rootschat.com/links/011ry/
If the signature is W A Dacre - could this be the obituary - May 2 nd 1926 - 20 May 2013 (with photograph and details of other brothers and a sister) ?

Hello Sandra,
Very many thanks for the additional information you have given me.
This has set me off on a new train of enquiries - exactly what was needed for a wet miserable May Saturday and to keep me away from the news etc.
Kind regards,
Derek (alias Joe39)

Great to be able to help a little.

Sandra :)

Am not sure how active this forum is, but George is my grandmother Clara’s eldest brother. He was very young when he passed away.

Thanks again Sandra,
I hadn't gone that deep into this family to find out further descendants and had instead concentrated on the English ancestry.
But, seeing as you have found more - any idea on Joyce's husband's name ?
Also, I have all the siblings except Bill.
Joe 39 :) ;) :D

Joyce's husband was Armand Roland Faucher.
The young son of Armand and Joyce - Robbie Roland Faucher died 1968
