Yes Marjorie, I have the book "South of North Saskatchewan". In the story about Archie Simmons History, it says "Archie Simmons, second son in the family of Philip Simmons, was born in 1899 at Fort Saskatchewan in the Good Hope district and now lives in South Edmonton. - When Archies parents separated, he, his two brothers and their sisters went to live with their grandfather, Nixon Ford. - In 1920 Archie went to work on the farm of his cousin, Fred Sommons, where he met Pearl Duckworth. They were married in 1921 and went to live on the homestead East of Long Lake. In 1928 they bought and moved onto a farm at Ellscott. During their residence at these two places they had a family of two boys, Chester and Norman as well as two girls, Hazel and Faye. - When Paerl's health began to fail they quit the farm and moved to Surrey B.C. - Archie then joined his brother Cecil, working at Dominion Bridge and there became a welder until he retired in 1963. Pearl passed away in 1967. Archie then moved back to Edmonton and three years later married Dorothey Ferig from Colinton. Archie passed away on 26 March 1984..
Note, I skipped some pieces - here.
Then on the B.C. Archives you can find Pearl's death here.
