Hi Ines

Thanks for everything - Do you know which years Elizabeth lived at the address?

I have no idea why Hugh was called Bonny or Bunny I'm afraid .The first I heard of this name was from you and Jackie. His accident was at the intersection of Eighteenth Avenue and Centre Street according to his obituary in the Calgary Daily Herald (does that help with the Main st part?).

Since we last corresponded, I have also found the FULL 'free' death certificates on line at the Royal BC Museum of Walter (Jnr) and Aileen Patricia (nee Grant and Frederick's wife). Over here in England they are quite costly to obtain now and the Canadian one gives much more info.

It confirms that Aileen and Frederick lived at Esquimalt on Vancouver Island in 1976! It seems that the poor lady had a history of heart problems and died age 58. Walter's death cert confirms his address as 2330 Maple Street, Vancouver which is odd because I found an article on line that said at the time of his death he was editor of a Kelowna newspaper - Kelowna is a fair way from Vancouver isn't it? Did he have two properties perhaps?

Anyway the info keeps coming

Hi Ian - I have scanned and emailed you the wedding picture.  As for how long they lived at this address, another clue is that in the photo they are standing in front of the house at 214 - 27th Avenue NE and that was in 1949 so they had to be there by this time.

Hi, doing some research on Geoff Beaver Jones who my family and I lived with for several years in the 70’s... wondering if I/we can help answer some questions about Geoff and his family... we knew them well...  please feel free to reply to my email address at (*)  I remember Walter well, he came and lived with us on McGill Street after his wife died in the fire in their apartment (his and Hazel’s) when she passed... yes, due to smoking in bed as previously quoted... maybe we can shed some light on some of the mystery around this family.  We also knew Geoff and Walter’s nephew Dick and their children...
