On the 1921 census there is a George B. Kirk listed in Hafford, North Battleford, Saskatchewan. He was 17, single, born in Scotland and his parents born in Scotland. It says he emigrated to Canada in 1920. His occupation was listed as bank clerk. He was a lodger in the household of Cleveland Hess who was a bank manager. There were two other lodgers listed in the household as well who were bank employees.
I have found an obituary for George who died 25 Aug 1975 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It mentions his coming to Canada when he was 17 to work for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Saskatchewan. He transferred to Winnipeg in 1949 and retired in 1962. He was predeceased by his wife, Annie. The obituary also mentions two children (son G.R. of Winnipeg and daughter Mrs. J.H. Ormrod of Ontario) as well as a brother John and sister Margaret Munro in Scotland.
George's wife, Gertrude Annie Kirk died 20 Jul 1971 in WinnipegPenticton, B.C. Her obituary adds a specific town where her daughter was living - Deep River, Ontario. Also mentions Annie had a sister as well as a brother named A.W. Peet of Melville, Saskatchewan.
If you PM me your email address I can send you a copy of the obituaries.
