John Blair and Jane Callander Shaw - New Westminster, British Columbia
« on: Sunday 07 October 18 23:56 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for any informantion on a John Blair and his wife Jane Callander Shaw.  In 1921 (census) they were residing at 243 Richmond Street, New Westminster, with their neice, Sybil Jean Shaw.
John died in 1931 and Jane died in 1938.  Sybil married a Harry Clark in 1926 at New Westminster.
Sybil died in 1958 and Harry in 1971.  Other than birth and death dates, I have no other information.

Thanks

Have you checked the death certificate for Harry Clark ?  The informant was his son.
