Looking for connections to Bertram Benjamin Hanson 1881-1961
buried St Aidan's Cemetery, Barrhead.
Trying to establish if he was the son of George Hanson and Ellen Whiteside, and brother to George Edward Hanson born Westhoughton, Lancashire, England c.1878
George Edward Hanson married Margaret Alice Howard, one of their sons carried the name Bertram.

kind regards,
Elaine.

Hi Elaine, From Alberta GenWeb Local History book site - online
HANSON, Bert; The Golden Years; Barrhead
Book can be read online at:
http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=4191

HANSON, Bertram & Ethel "Mae"; Links With the Past; Barrhead
There is a Volunteer: who owns or has access to the above book:

VOLUNTEER: Shirley, smsmith1@telusplanet.net

Contact St.Aidan's Cemetery - Barrhead - they can give you the date of death. Perhaps an obituary had been published - which may show names and locations of other family members at the time.

Many thanks for the links. "The Golden Years" proving very useful and most interesting. I have already found another member of the family. Bert's sister - Sarah Elizabeth HANSON b.abt 1875 who married a Richard HOUGHTON, widower before travelling to Edmonton in 1913 on the vessel "Oceanic"
Their daughter Dovey HOUGHTON b.1915 appears to have married Claude A.PICKRELL and they are also buried at St Aidan's.
Dovey was originally a surname brought into the family by a marriage of a Benjamin HANSON to a Sophia DOVEY in 1837 so I'm hopefully on the right track.

kind regards,

Elaine.

Will also pursue the other links.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for the tip re contacting St Aidan's Cemetery. A lovely volunteer - Flora, was able to supply me with several obituaries for the family.

All the help has been greatly appreciated.

Elaine.
