Preamble:

I am researching my great grandfather, Harry Couch, who had traveled to Saskatchewan with two Western Land Grants back in 1909 or so. And “Twin Hill” is where his family had first settled temporarily, before relocating to their permanent homestead with the Letters Patent (?). My great grandfather’s two legal land descriptions were; NE-31-23-10-W3 & SE-31-23-10-W3, which are located between Beechy and Lucky Lake. My great grandfather and his wife, Mary E. (Dodman) Couch had three children, Cyril Odin, Leona and Grace, before moving back to live in Ontario in 1927 or so.

Questions & Answers

1. Would anyone in from the Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada area know about “Twin Hill” and possibly its connection to my great grandfather’s family? I have obtained my great grandfather’s homestead application files from the Saskatchewan Archives Board and my great grandfather had indicated on both his applications that “Twin Hill” was his current address (?). But isn’t “Twin Hill” not north of Saskatoon and Biggar? I’m not seeing “Twin Hill” near my great grandfather’s homesteads, which are located between Beechy and Lucky Lake (?).
2. Would be very grateful if anyone had birth, death, church and one-room school information about their children too: Cyril Odin, Leona and Grace.
