Hi Peter and Rose

Thank you for replying to my query. The Hewson Edward Thompson buried in Edmonton I believe is a brother to my Great-grandfather. He was born and raised in York County in Ont. and had a wife and family in Ont. My aunt told me that he went to Edmonton but he had left his wife. The Elsie (Jacob) Thompson buried beside him is a common-law wife. I was told this by a great-grandchild of their's who I think lives in Edmonton. This same person also told me that He believed that Hewson and Elsie had a daughter still alive, living behind a High School in Banff.

I had been corresponding with this person in Edmonton (and his mother) until I told them that he had a wife and 2 children in Ont. before he went west. Since giving them this information, they no longer reply to any of my emails.
