Patricia Margaret Winthrop b. Dickson, Alberta w/o James Winthrop was the daughter of Gordon Brookes and Helen Beatrice Lonnenberg.  You can find her death on the same site as her father's in November 1990.

Family tree indicates that Gordon had four children with Ruth Carson and three with Helen.  No names are listed although Madeline Winthrop maintains a tree on MyHeritage that shows another daughter Joan Helen Brookes.  You could sign up for the free trial membership and contact the tree owner.

Wow I didn't actually expect much luck here! Thank you very much!!

MyHeritage tree also indicates that Helen Beatrice died in 1997.

I can't be of any help to you but am also looking for information on this family. I am hoping to find out more about Patricia Margaret Brookes, on ancestry.com I found a page that says she was Gordon's daughter. She is now deceased but I am looking for living relatives. I would appreciate any information you could give me in regards to her or even Gordon Brookes family. Please contact/reply if you can, thank you!

May have married Ruth Carson in 1924 Manitoba

Just in case you don't have this information: The marriage between Gordon Brooks and Ruth Carson was on 05/05/1924 in The Pas, Manitoba.

You can search for it on the Manitoba Vital Statistics Agency database.

Try this google search:

A few references to this family in old newspapers - looks like he was in BC at least by 1929 - birth notice for a son to Mr and Mrs Gordon L. Brooks.
