Would be glad if anyone could help with this search. Clair Edward Strange was born in Vancouver in 1924. He was the son of Dan Sharp Strange . I would be interested to know if he had other siblings or family. Many thanks , Emmanne

Wow. Many thanks aghadowey. I have never had such a quick reply. He was the son of my granduncle and I only found out about his existence just before Christmas ,having come to the conclusion years ago that they had no children.
Thank you too to Carole W for the census info. Now I can start building a story about this missing cousin.
