I know this was a long time ago, but I would like to hear from anyone, (or their descendants) who attended June's funeral. Some of the attendees were :- Fred Peterson, Lydia Wright, Doraine & Dale Nagy, Frank Tredgett, Dave Tizel, Laurie Wilgan, Betty Jamieson, Mr. & Mrs. W. Cosman. I appolgise for any bad spelling as I am taking these from handwritten notes.

Have you tried looking for these people on social media or http://www.canada411.ca/ ?

There is a Frank Tredgett, retired, noted in the 1957 Canadian Voters' List living on Balliol Street in uptown Toronto. He is likely deceased by now.

A few Fred Tredgett to pick from:-
If Fred was Frederick Cornelius Tredgett born 1898 he passed 1982
Frederick Norman Tredgett - 3 January 1930 - passed 23 April 2002
Frederick Tredgett - 30 March 1899 passed 20 February 1957

My sincere thanks to Sandra and Eileen. First I should introduce myself better. I am June's half brother and to complicate things a little I should explain that while June was born in Canada she was brought back to Scotland by her parents when she was a baby. We have a common mother. June married John Singleton Carway in Scotland in 1942 and came back to Canada as he was a Canadian soldier. When June died she had separated from her husband and was living alone. The rest of her family were back in Scotland. Now that I am here in Canada, I am trying to find out all I can although I feel that time will have made this impossible. Sandra, I have not tried Canada 411 as I am almost certain that all of those at Junes funeral will have passed away. June was 31 when she died and so would be 93 years old today. While I might find relatives, I would have no way of telling if there was a connection and it might well mean a lot of wasted phone calls. I will try and visit Franks grave to see if it gives a clue to living relatives. Having said that, you two have given me some things to work with and I will do that. I was hoping (and still do hope) that a relative of those mentioned would see this, in which case a lot might fall into place. As an aside do either of you know how I can find out what happened to the two homes that were located at 42 Pinewood Ave in Toronto. That was where June was living when she died, and that section is now a park. If either of you are on Ancestry, look for "The Allan Family Tree Mar. 2012AB" author is allanr48. You will learn a lot about June if you are interested.

I did come across a photograph of her on ancestry but never come across your tree.
Her son was adopted by a doctor when she died. :'(

Hi there.
You might consider looking at Canada411 as suggested by *Sandra* above. You have 2 very unusual names on your list and might find descendents this way. I won't post info as are living but there are only 2 entries in Ontario for the last name with the 'z' in it. And only 5 for the other name starting with 't'.

Hi Sandra.
That Kilsyth address was mine. Its where I grew up. Catherine Allan was mine & Junes mother. Catherine's first husband was Alexander Craig Fullerton who died in 1936. Catherine married my dad in 1940 and I was born in 1941. The story about the adoption may be true but it was LONG before June's death. June was in regular contact with both my parents and me. I also have a bunch of photographs that June sent to us over the years. There are a couple where she is obviously a young woman with a baby. I also have one of Jack Carway with a small baby in his arms. There are at least a dozen of June subsequently with no sign of any child and if there was I would have known. Prospect cemetery is where June is buried and I have a photograph of the marker. Our mother came to visit me 3 years after we came to Canada and we did some visiting to where she used to live (Dovercourt Road) and High Park where she often went. That was when she saw the grave for the first time and ordered a plaque to be placed on the grave. I have also been in touch with Katie Drown who has the Ancestry tree that gives the info. about the adoption. If you can get to Katie's tree, you should be able to follow "Hints" to get to mine. Alternative search for allanr48. Also, it was 1943 not 42 when June arrived in Canada. I have the telegram she got telling her to leave. It is also in my tree. Jack Carway was very badly wounded on the Dieppe Raid which was August 1942 just a few days after they got married in Kilsyth. If you want, you can also write to me at robeve1014@rogers.com
Regards,
Robert.

Hi Polarbear.
On reflection, I think your advice is sound. I will give it a try.
