William C Baston in Dafoe, Saskachewan
« on: Wednesday 05 April 17 21:37 BST (UK) »
Last time the family heard from William was in 1937 when Saskachewan was having a really bad drought - he was born in Cheshire in 1892 and emigrated to Canada just before WW1 - in the 30s he was farming with his wife Jess and son (I think) Jack.  I always wonder if things got better for him.  Anyone have any idea please?

Mrs W BASTON, Dafoe

Mrs Jessie BASTON, retired.
She is listed with a John CAPON, Painter and wife Ruth CAPON, at same address.

The 1965 Voters list for:
District of Rosthern, Saskatoon
Within in the City Limits, in an area formerly occupied by the RCAF Permanent Members Quarters,
Township 37.  Ref: Box 192, RR#44
John CAPON Painter
Mrs John CAPON
Mrs Jessie BASTON, retired

Ruth CAPON, was nee HILL and passed away 2011. This is an obituary for her:
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestarphoenix/obituary.aspx?n=ruth-capon&pid=147960561

If 'their' Jessie, was 'your' Jessie, wife of William - it's possible some of Ruth's descendants may know something of the Bastons, given that Jessie was with Ruth & John for at least 8 years?

Cheers
AMBLY
