Thanks a million to all, I never thought I would get that amount of info ! I live in Glasgow Scotland and would never have found that amount. My wife has photos of L C Stevens and his family in Canada but there was no names or info on them so your help has finally finished her family tree. Once again thanks very much.

I have quite a lot of photos of L C stevens and his family from the 1920s to 1940s and also a letter he wrote (just before he died) to his niece in england (my wifes godmother). I would like the Stevens family to have these but have no way of finding them, any ideas ??

thanks shawsboy

You could try contacting the Funeral Chapel mentioned in Robert's wife's 2009 obituary and ask them to forward a message to family members.  I did an Internet search on the name of the Funeral Chapel and from its website it seems to be a well-established funeral home - and they also provide an email address.

Leonard Stevens is my great great uncle. I would be interested to see the letter you refer to. My grandma was a niece of his. I was wondering if the letter was to her or her sister.
Thanks

For your records I ran across a item on the site The Recents and found a notice for a marriage for L C Stevens and Rosetta Thompson for their marriage which appeared in the Calgary Herald dated 1911.

For more info it is a paid site. I believe the price is $15.00 Canadian for the article. Hope this is helpful for you.
