Hi Jeff
Thank you very much for your reply,I hardly know where to start.Firstly my search for John lead me to his sister Olive which was what I was hoping for.,she appeared on the same page as the baseball team.The entry was DePottie,Olive Gertrude/d Wainwright death announcement.I am not sure what DePottie is or the d (death?)after her name.Olive is my father's cousin and I hve been researching her whereabouts in Canada for a long time.There is quite a story atached to her as a young child here in the UK.Also her father Thomas met an untimely end when he plunged to his death believed to be in the Niagara Falls in 1928.
I have excellant pictures that I downloaded of the family plot in Fairview cemetary.
Getting back to John,he could well be the John I am seeking and it is interesting to note that he played for Buckley's East Enders and the family at one time lived in Buckley Ave,NF More research needed there.
Perhaps you could let me know what DePottie means, it sounds like an index.Thanks again Jeff you have certainly got me going again.
