Thanks again JJ, that worked fine. I have emailed the club to enquire if they can put me in touch. Sounds too much of a coincidence not to be related. Phyl

I've tried all these contacts but had no replies - the one asking about CSM is obviously a close relative but the posting is 5 years old and he has probably stopped following it and has changed email address. i don't know where to go next -any ideas? It would seem as though he must have stayed in the Ontario region.

I just sent him an email & it never returned... so he is just not reading them...maybe he has put it over to his spam folder & never checks it for real mail....
Was your second wife to his father surname Geddes or McCracken?
Married to Dec.Q 1914 McCracken Elizabeth /McNair / W.Derby 8b 836
What if you tried phoning that CS McNair, just in case. Shouldn't cost too much if you keep it brief...
You could also write a letter to this fellow...http://www.canada411.ca/res/7056477627/Rod-McNair/75803913/Map.html
good luck! J.J.

also writing a well circulated newspaper would be an option as well...of course the submission costs money, but it has worked for many people...

my grandfather's second wife's surname was McCracken - her mother was elizabeth Geddes and Charlie's( the one we're chasing) sister was elizabeth geddes mcnair so probably someone slipped up with the name at some point.
Thanks very much for the address and telephone number - I'll have a go.

yes -that was me - replying quickly without thinking - but in his post he mentioned Elizabeth Geddes that's why I slipped up - I realised what I'd done afterwards but never altered it. Done it now.

I tried phoning that number - the R McNair I got to have a pleasant chat with was not the right one- he doesnt know the name.
Here's a new picture of Charlie that I got today from my 90year old uncle.

Isn't he fabulous>...such a cutie pie...I think he's about to keel over with the burdening weight of the coat & boots, tho...
Too bad about the one number ...Had you phoned the CS McNair as well? J.J.

Haha...  ...I think he IS the flying club fellow! Fingers crossed that this one's a rellie...
If that doesn't work out..I think a blurb in the newspaper would find your man...He obviously had offspring who hopefully are still in Ontario...J.J.
