Hi Egars and other relatives,
Dr. Mark Sweny’s daughter Lydia was my great-grandmother. Her son Stanley George Egar was my grandfather, and his son, Stanley Ernest Egar, was my father.
Lydia and her husband John Egar are buried in the plot that Lydia bought in Mount Royal Cemetery, Montreal. Also there are my grandparents, Stanley George Egar and his wife Beatrice Mercer; and other of John and Lydia’s son’s, Ernest Egar, his wife Elsie Callard and their daughter Verna; and my parents Stanley Ernest Egar and Shirley Loreen Lemon.
My brother John Egar and I are the only two remaining Egars that I know of. As far as we know, Lydia Sweny and John Egar had ten children. At least one or two died very young, but we never knew any except my grandfather’s brother, Ernest Egar.
I’m hoping there are other Egars out there somewhere. I’d love to hear about you.
