Thank you Crunware & Val.
I have received information from the Canadian head of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that Thomas was considered a deserter. With Lovett relatively remote, perhaps it's why he took his family there.
Val wad absolutely correct with the thought of Thomas' wife re-marrying after he passed away. She married a Bill McDonald. Thank you Val. Her baby namesake (census says born abt 1919) must have actually been born in 1918 - perhaps it was after Thomas died. Very sad.
For those of you with an *A* membership, here is a link to the tree I'm building. This is to make sure I connect the buried with enough family members that others can find them. As those buried don't connect as family, one has to search by burial name. So far, I have entered (but not quite finished the entries for
):
David Lamond (needs his headstone photo which will be uploaded later today)
Thomas Clifford Letcher (needs headstone photo & further census work which will be done today/tomorrow)

I have to upload the photo of the headstone for David Lamond (then he'll be complete), but still have work to do on Thomas Clifford Letcher (headstone, bio, links to other family members in other cemeteries). You can find it here.
