Looking for Clair Edward Strange
« on: Monday 22 January 24 15:36 GMT (UK) »
Would be glad if anyone could help with this search. Clair Edward Strange was born in Vancouver in 1924. He was the son of Dan Sharp Strange . I would be interested to know if he had other siblings or family.  Many thanks , Emmanne

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Wow. Many thanks aghadowey. I have never had such a quick reply. He was the son of my granduncle and I only found out about his existence just before Christmas ,having come to the conclusion years ago that they had no children.
Thank you too to Carole W for the census info. Now I can start building a story about this missing cousin.
