Granny McPhee

crystalskull — 13 Sep 2008 4:49:50 GMT

I'm a Londoner (England) and I can only just remember my grandmother, but I know she was called Margaret and although she was a Prior by marriage she was always called Granny McPhee. What I do remember is lovely food packages and boxes of apples being sent to us Priors in war torn London, and I believe they were from the McPhees in Calgary. I'm building my family Tree, and would very much like to know if I have any relatives in or around Calgary. Please excuse the spelling of McPhee if I've got it wrong, there are so many options. IJay

Walker, William Robert

graemewalker167 — 20 Sep 2008 11:13:53 GMT

I am living in Scotland and interested in William Walker (married to Margaret Kerr) and his decendants who immigrated to Alberta at sometime between 1901 and 1914.

One of his sons, William Robert Walker was living at Willow Cottage, Cathedral Close, Edmonton according to his WWI attestation papers. He was married to Mabel and working as the clerk to the holy diocese. He was a chaplain through WWI and seems to have survived the war. but there my trail goes cold. Did he return to Edmonton after the war? Did he and Mabel have any children?

Any information/contacts would be greatly appreciated.

researching Robert Leonard BARKER family

sharonmoss69 — 24 Jun 2008 5:27:00 GMT

hi everyone,

I am currently researching my paternal grandfather's grandfather, Robert Leonard BARKER, who was born in Ontario in 1861, but came to Calgary in 1883 and lived the rest of his years there. He married Barbara Ann Patterson, who was a Lieutenant in the Salvation Army, in 1886. THey had eight children - Donald William,(my grandfather's father), Mary,Robert Alexander, Leonard Atkinson, Ernest Gordon, Helen May, Barbara Alice and Jean.

I have found a lot of info on the family, including some neat newspaper articles of the men and their service in WW1 and RL Barker's service in the Riel Uprising. I have also been able to find info on the family in the 1901, 1906 and 1911 census. However, I'm also finding some inconsistencies, particularly in dates (what a surprise!).

For example, in all of the censuses, it has the kids listed with their birthyears - and it's fairly consistent bt census. However, I found the attestation papers for the boys for WW1 and it has their birth years listed differently. I'm not sure why there were different as even with the birth year I originally had from the census, they would have been old enough to join the war effort (so it's not like they had to stretch their age to be "of age"). In the 1911 census, it has the oldest boy as Robert Alexander, born in 1890, then Donald William (1892), Leonard Atkinson (1894) and then Ernest Gordon (1896). However, the attestation papers show Donald WIlliam being born in 1885, Leanard born in 1890, and Ernest born in 1894. Robert Alexander was in England serving at the time. The actual month and day are the same on both the census and attestation papers.

The other inconsistency and question I have is in relation to Robert Leonard's wife, Barbara Ann. In Robert Leonard's obituary in 1939, it says he was predeceased by his wife, Barbara in 1910. It also says this on a Alberta pioneer website (although I gather they get the info from obits as well). However, she was listed as alive and well, living in Calgary on the 1911 census! In addition, in one of the obits I found, it says she died in Vancouver, BC. I did a search on the BC archives and I did find her death - in 1913 in Vancouver. I guess it's possible that whoever wrote RL Barker's obit didn't know the exact year?! Also, why on earth would Barbara go to Vancouver? Was she sick and seeking treatment? Her last child, Jean, was born in 1908 (Calgary), and the death reg I found for her in Vacouver states her age was 48.

Thought I'd post the family I'm researching in hopes that someone else is also researching them...and to ask some rambling questions!

thanks for reading if you made it this far!

Child or Children of Cameron and Hazel McDonald

LloydMcDonald53 — 8 Jul 2008 9:16:53 GMT

I am looking for the child(ren) of Cameron and Hazel McDonald. They probably are both deceased by now. Cameron was born in Toronto and moved to the West where he met Hazel.

Though I have seen Cameron a few times the one and only time I saw Hazel and their daughter was in 1961 or 1962 when during a short visit they came to Port Perry, Ontario on Lake Scugog. All I remember is that Hazel I believe was part Italian and made fantastic spaghetti and meatballs.

I believe they were married in and may have lived in or near Calgary. Common names in the family if they did have more children for girls may have been Hazel after their mother or Mary, May, Ethel, Lilly, Annie and for boys, Russel, Cameron, Jack, John, Daniel, Peter and perhaps, Alford or Levi.

If anyone can help me find my family please email me at macnash@rogers.com

Jack Cotton : cemetery lookup

c_classactkate — 24 Jun 2008 5:46:05 GMT

Looking for information on a Jack Cotton born 1870-1875 in either Kentucky, Missouri or Arkansas, USA to Thomas L and Adeline M Cotton of Kentucky. He was listed as surviving brother living in Canada on his sister's obituary in 1941. A neice remembers meeting him in Oregon when she was in the Army. She said he lived in Calgary, never married and boarded in someone's home. There was a Thomas Jr but cannot find any information on him either so maybe Thomas went by the nickname of Jack to differentiate between him and his father. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Larry Leroy Nelson, possibly Sawchuk

Kerry — 12 Nov 2000 12:00:00 GMT

I'am DESPARATELY SEEKING a man by the name of Larry Leroy Nelson. He could possibly be Sawchuk as his biological fathers name was Edward Sawchuk. He was born on November 11, 1954 in the city of North Battleford, Saskatchewan to Madeline Nelson..now Flavel and to Edward. His mother and father were never married but were engaged at the time of his birth. Madeline fell in love with another man shortly after Larry's birth and Larry's father was devastated.
Edward consistently harrassed Madeline for custody of his son and each time she would refuse. Finally in a desparate attempt to get his son, he tried to kidnap little Larry from Madeline's back yard of her home, but his attempt failed as a neighbor saw him right away and called Madeline.
Madeline knew right then and there that things would not work out living in the same city, so her and her new boyfriend decided to move to the city of Calgary to get away from this man. Just before they moved, Edward showed up at Madeline's door and told her that one way or the other he was going to get his son.
Madeline, little Larry and Madeline's boyfriend moved to an area of Calgary called the Inglewood auto court right next to the Bow River. Things seemed to go quite well there until her boyfriend fell extremely ill with polio and became paralyzed. He could no longer care financially or physically for Madeline and her baby boy....this forced Madeline to take a job at the Modern Cafe in Calgary. This also meant that little Larry needed the care of a babysitter while his mother was at work..
Shortly after Madeline started work at the Cafe, she saw Edward walking down the street and panic set in. The on consolation she had was that he did not know where in the city they lived.
The babysitters that Madeline arranged for little Larry to go to lived right next door to them..Their names were Don and Jackie and they had three children of their own. They were a nice couple according to Madeline and she trusted them whole heartedly. At one point Madeline was told that there had been a strange man hanging around the playground there. Madeline immediately thought about Edward, but then as time went on, the thought faded.
On December 24,1957 Madeline was called to go to work that day. The regular babysitters could not babysit that day, but Jackie recommended her sister-in-law to Madeline and assured her that she was a good babysitter, and so Madeline wouldn't be stuck without one. This was the beginning of a never ending story, one that Madeline will never forget as long as she lives..
She was called home, to find that her baby boy went missing that day. It was said that the boy was down on the river with some other kids and that he fell through a hole in the ice. Problem was that little Larry was deathly scared of water and that Madeline even had a heck of a time getting this boy to have a bath. Some of the other children said that there was a strange man down by the river that day...
So the Calgary City Police dragged the river and they came up with nothing. The strange thing was, a year later, a boy of around the same age drowned in the same river and within a short time afterwards his body was recovered...but not Larry's..Why?
It has been 43 years now since he went missing. No body has ever been recovered. Larry Nelson just vanished without a trace. No death certificate has ever been issued, no records of any John Doe boy's of that age has ever been reported in the province of Alberta, there has just been nothing all together.
Larry would be 46 years old now. His mother firmly believes that he is still alive, but if she finds out otherwise, then she can put her mind at ease. She has never been able to have a funeral for her boy, she has never been able to tell anyone for sure what happened to her son, and she would really like to know one way or the other what happened. Her health is not all that great and she would like to know the truth about her son.
Larry had blonde hair, blue eyes and the tip of the middle finger on his left hand was missing.
If anyone has any information on this person, the babysitters or their children, or to what happened that dreadful day, please contact me A.S.A.P. at kandy@sk.sympatico.ca it is very important that I find out what happened. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I do hope that someone out there knows the truth.

Calgary 1906 - 1912 building houses

gail_finn — 13 Mar 2008 10:53:38 GMT

I am looking for information about a family who were building houses in Calgary about 1906 to 1912. The family names were Fox and their grandson, Fred Dorwin. This family was from Wisconsin and I believe they were trying to make a lot of money by building and selling houses.

Would anyone know how I might be able to find some information about where they might have been building these houses?

I would welcome any ideas!!!
thank you...

Hello,
This is a longshot, but what have I got to lose? I am trying to find out if the Angus and Rose Macdonald at the address in the subject line (314-6th Street W.) are for sure the people I am related to. There were an Angus and Rose Macdonald at this address in the Voters' Lists of 1938 and 1943. Is there anyone who would know anything about this couple? Any tidbit of information or a point in the right direction would be very appreciated. I write from British Columbia and have no knowledge of the Calgary area or accessible resources. The early 1940's is when Angus and Rose lost contact with the family and nothing is known of them. Thanks.

Need Surnames

WGoss6531 — 10 Sep 2007 4:28:07 GMT

I need surnames for "Uncle Heily" who died in his office in Calgary about mid-February 1917. His wife was Annie Hancock and they were probably married in Toronto. Daughters were Nelly and Sadie, both married by late 1916. The letter of March 17, 1917, announcing Heily's death came from Major William McSpadden (whose deceased wife was Mary Hancock), who wrote from the Imperial Hotel in Calgary. Sadie wrote from 240 18th Avenue West in Calgary on November 8, 1917. With this wealth of detail, no one passed down the surnames. Any help or suggestions where to look will be appreciated. Census indexes are tough without the surnames.

Can anyone connect with the above name. My information is vague at present but think he had connections with Calgary (he might have been a horse breaker).

I do know that he served in the Canadian Army and lost both his legs (and survived) at the attack on Vimy Ridge in 1917.

Any snippets of info would be much appreciated.
