Thanks, Hollie, for this reply to my query. I was most fortunate to be in touch with a Mary Nutting at the South Peace Regional Archives, who very kindly shared with me both her own personal photo of my gt granddad's gravestone, plus a copy of his obituary from the local newspaper. Perhaps Mary is your Mum? She was very generous in providing me with these things.
I also spoke with Patricia Greber, who attempted to get me in touch with a Lynn Connell in Wanham, who, she understood, was working to update a history book of Wanham, and try as I would I was unable to get any response from her. I would love to see what is written in that book about my gt granddad, because I understand he was very well known there and quite sociable. I would so like to know what people remembered about him, and I would have been quite willing to share a few extra details to help round out what they may have about him, in terms of back ground.
