Hello, JJ........thanks for your note re- George Crichton.  I'm in limbo at the moment as I think his second wife may still be alive......have got a contact now in Vancouver who is to make enquiries.  You may close the query.....I really appreciate all the help I've been given.  Zil

That's great, J.J.    Many thanks. I'll follow up the D-   Calders in West Vancouver.  I keep hoping that someone on the site will recognise names.  Thanks to you and your friend, we are now one step further on.  I'm still trying to find a contact in Montreal......but it's a big place!!!!!!!  George's niece was delighted with the DC info and can remember George and his wife Helen (Ross) being in the UK with their daughter, J-  round about 1944 - 1948, she thinks.  She would so love to have contact with any members of the family, as she is George's only Crichton niece still alive.

Thanks, J.J.  I sent my query to the general Sheffield Steel Headquarters and asked to be re-directed to the appropriate branch....if one exists.  George Crichton worked in the English plant before emigrating. I don't know when he moved to Canada, but I'll make some enquiries.  His niece can remember him coming back to the UK with his wife, Helen Ross and 2 children.  She may be able to pinpoint when that was.....she thinks he may have married in Canada but Helen came from Ross-shire in Scotland.  That's what makes it interesting that George married K- , who came for that part of Scotland too, although born abroad.  ( I know he knew K-'s first husband too........info gleaned from that great article in the newspaper)   Zil

Great, J.J.  I've taken a note of the info from that site and will make arrangements to make contact with the appropriate agency.  I'm most grateful for all your help.  I'm hoping to be in a position to put his only Crichton niece in touch with any members of the family I can find.  Many thanks again.....Zil

Hello Orcadians.......I wonder if anyone can tell me who the parents were for Captain Magnus Work (1910 to 2006)?  I know he must fit into a tree I've just done.  Thanks....Zil
