Quinton / Quintin Family Vancouver
« on: Thursday 18 August 22 17:56 BST (UK) »
I started doing my family tree and DNA to find my Great Aunt who went to live in Canada sometime between WW1 and WW2.
Her name I believe was Nell or Lucy Smith, and she married an E. Quinton. They went to live on Vancouver Island, Canada. Evidently, they opened a canning factory?
But I can't find any relatives, or info on them. I know this is a long shot, but fingers crossed, maybe someone will recognise the names?

Wondered if the obituary for Arthur would mention children. Sadly it doesn't

Wow! thank you so much, Sandra!
Definitely sounds like the Henry Smith and Georgina Sadler daughter, Lucy!
Not the Sewell one, though.
That is great information, I will check it all out, and get back to you.
Thanks again!
Melanie

Don't worry about the names,  they can vary in transcription, overall it seems to be the correct connection.
