Mary Hannah Walters & Evan Walters

[Cynfelin]

This query for help is more pathetic than Claudia and Gordon, as I had some dates, and as it happens both couples knew each other and attended the same chapel in Edmonton!

However, my research takes me to find what became of Mary Hannah & Evan's children. According to a newspaper clipping I've found, Evan and Mary Hannah emigrated to Canada, during the "land ------- Scheme in 1924". They had four children Hetty,Annie and two sons David and Ronald.
David joined the Canadian Air Force.
Mary Hannah and Evan are both buried here in Wales.

Help to get me going with this family would be greatly appreciated.

This link also has Henderson Directories for Edmonton and Calgary.  From the Edmonton directory I chose 1946 randomly.
Evan Walters is shown living at 10008 108 St and is an employee of the Provincial government.  Ronald Walters is the proprieter of Wells Meat and Grocery but his residence is the same as his father's.  If the girls were employed in business they could also appear in the directories.

A Ronald Walters was buried in Edmonton 1966.  A search using only Hettie gives 4 results.  Perhaps another obituary might prove useful!

The family sailed from Liverpool on April 1, 1929 on board the Athenia which arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia March 23, 1929.  They then had ticket to continue west on the CN railway with $160.00 in their possession.  They emigrated under the E.S.A. which would be the Empire Settlement Act and their Canadian contact address was the Canadian Immigration Department Calgary Alberta.   Their British contact was Mrs. Ann Jones, 9 Victoria Rd., Pont Henry, Llanely Wales.

The family was all born Llanelly Wales and included
Evan (35), a miner intending to farm
Mary (36), his wife and children
Elizabeth (15), Robert (10), Hetty (11), and Ronald (7).
