Title: Walter Beaver-Jones (1915-1977)
Post by: IanLambert on Tuesday 15 March 22 14:13 GMT (UK)
Hi Sandra

One of my relatives above was knocked down and killed on Granville Street, Vancouver on Feb 5th 1977. I found two articles, one of which said he had been knocked down by a car on his way to the press club and the other that he was knocked down by a bus. Walter was himself a newspaperman working latterly for the Province in Vancouver having been on a few different papers in the West of Canada

I have found a lot of information on him and other Beaver-Joneses in Canada over the years (including that he ran a business in Palma Majorca at one time) including details of an inquest into his wife’s death in a fire but what I have never found is an obituary for Walter himself.

Can anyone help at all

Many thanks

Ian Lambert

Hi Sandra

Thanks very much for all these!

Coincidentally another brother High died in a motor cycle accident in Calgary when he was only 18 (I have his obit from the Calgary Herald) and that of his mother Elizabeth Emma Ho Lem aged 99 (Beaver-Jones nee Hanson, my mother’s maiden name)

I have found a few articles written by Walter when he was in Kelowna and a few articles mentioning him in the Lethbridge Herald.

I didn’t however have these that you sent!

Is there perhaps an obituary for his brother Frederick? He was a realtor in Victoria B.C. I think he died in December 1998.


Regards

Ian

Title: Walter Beaver-Jones (1915-1977) / Barbara Hanson
Post by: IanLambert on Thursday 24 March 22 16:48 GMT (UK)
Hi Sandra

I wonder if I could possibly ask for one more obit if available please? The Beaver-Jones were descended from my Mum’s family the Hansons four of whom emigrated to Canada in the early part of the 20th century.

There is another Hanson (Barbara) born c 1947 who I believe died in Edmonton, possibly Strathcona, in April 1988 (23rd?) Is there an obit? I have her parents obituaries but not hers.

Again any help is greatly appreciated


Regards
