I found an obituary for their sister Agnes Kennedy Sterling too... from 1994.  Do you have it?   She died in Shellbrook on Jan 7 1994, aged 91.  Says she came from Pitlochry Perthshire when she was seven.  It says her father came the year earlier and the family came to join him.   They homesteaded in the Brightholme district.  Her parents were Charles Kennedy and Agnes Waddel ........  etc etc.....

Hey snowolf,

My mom lives up in Shellbrook, and I can pop by the cemetery on my next time up (possibly next week)… it seems it hasn't been quite transcribed yet. 


There are a bunch of Stene families up there, etc. so there may be some intermarriages etc. … If you can PM me a list of names to check in the cemetery I will see what I can do...Brightholme is approximately 30 minutes south of Shellbrook for point of reference..


I will try to get to library here in town to see if the Shellbrook history book lends some leads as well..
