Hi all.

I am looking for information on the Otway family. I have searched back to my great grandfather William Gibson Otway. He passed away in Fort William, Ontario on March 28, 1946. He was married to Annie Lloyd Graveson. If you have any info please e-mail me at pavotway@shaw.ca. You can visit my website www.otwaystreet.com to see what information I do have.

Thank You,
Allen
