Found that my great great grandfather, man in the picture, past away April 6th 1915.  Of what? i do not know.....and what he was doing at the time of his passing i do not know. I think do to his age? ,he would have been retired....But not sure..His youngest daughter Dorthy was married twice, once to a Howe who past away, and the other Stevenson, Adam John, my great grandfather, married Bessie Evelyn Tranter (born in Ontario, parents Edward, and Christina (Hanneson) Tranter) which ended in divorce, and he then married Susannah Clara Jacobs, in Victoria BC.  Margaret (Maggie) seems to have been married as well, seen in a marriage registration listed ast Maggie Gardner...She past away in her early 40's....before or after her father....I am the daughter of John Helgason, son of Grace Clappoff, (McNab), daughter of Adam John McNab. He had a son as well........Jack McNab.Tug boat operator of the Fraser River in BC for many years.....as well as military in his early days.
I am looking for the Mcnab/Day family in Liverpool?  My great  grand father was Adam John Mcnab and it looks like he was born 1898. His mothers name is Dora Day, who eventually moved to Vancouver, BC Canada or to Canada through the United States.  Any help or connections would be greatly appreciated!!
