Possibly your Newstead family, again?

Thanks, Lisa.  Have followed up on the websites and come away with a lot of information.  Iceland, Bejaysus!  That IS a surprise.

There are people here who do look-ups of BC deaths if you would like to find out if Clifford William Newstead is yours. Just go back to your initial post in this thread and add the words "BC look-up" in the subject line.

Eleanor Mary Newstead, died in 1966, age 86, Burnaby.
From the same site that we found Clifford's death.

Bless, Lisa.

I know that Gwen died some time ago.

That's almost the lot accounted for though, of course, the family has proliferated, as the websites you mentioned show.

The frustrating thing is to trace the daily movements after emigration when Canada found its feet, roughly between the two World Wars.

Onwards and sideways.

Cosmac...The obit. for Audrey (Newstead) indicates that she was born in Sept. 1914 not in 1915 as the census ref. has it.  One's used to discrepancies of this sort.

Thanks for your contributions anyway.
