Surnames: Loftus
I am having a hard time finding any info about Jack Albert Loftus, and wife, Irene Gay Loftus. They likely were born in Alberta. They adopted a son, Jack Oliver Loftus (born 1937), and I think they lived in Camrose, Alberta at that time.Possibly lived in Cardston area earlier; or that could be where Jack Oliver Loftus was born. Canada Voters Lists show that Jack and Irene Loftus lived in Camrose in 1949. They later moved to B.C. (looks like they lived in Burnaby and then Kelowna).

Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated; especially when they lived in Alberta. Eventually, I am hoping to be able to trace the family line for Jack Oliver Loftus, but I don't know who his birth parents were (working on that for my grandson).

Thank you for your reply.

I am working on this family history for my grandson. His father, Jack Allan Loftus (married to my daughter), is the son of Jack Oliver Loftus. He has just recently agreed to try to obtain adoption records. Hopefully he will get some info from adoption records, although it was such a long time ago.

Jack Oliver Loftus passed away 13 July 1998 in Winnipeg. Irene Gay Loftus passed away 28 Oct 1998 in Kelowna, BC. Her husband, Jack Albert Loftus is not living but I don't know when he passed away. I have not been able to find obits for Irene and her husband, Jack Albert Loftus, which is strange, as there should be something.

Jack Oliver Loftus is the child that Jack Albert Loftus and wife, Irene, adopted. Jack Allan Loftus is applying for the adoption papers for his father, Jack Oliver Loftus. It seems a descendant of the adopted person can apply for the papers. It gets confusing with so many Jack's.

Jack Oliver Loftus and Irene Gay Loftus are probably buried in Kelowna, BC. I know that Jack Oliver Loftus was cremated and his ashes were sent to his adopted parents in Kelowna, to bury him there. Possibly Irene Gay Loftus was also cremated. I don't know where in Kelowna, BC that they were buried. I have seen the obit for Jack Oliver Loftus and it is very brief and mentions no names and no info at all, just that he died.

Not sure how long Jack Albert Loftus and Irene Loftus lived in Kelowna. I think they lived in Burnaby for awhile. And they came to BC from Camrose, Alberta. In 1949 I think, Canada Voters List shows them in Camrose, and I can't find any other Canada Voters Lists for them. Not sure if the obit would have been published in Camrose, as it had been a long time since they lived there. Maybe they just didn't publish obits for them.

Hi, Unfortunately - deaths after 1991 - are not yet considered Public record - so cannot be searched online

Perhaps: - Contacting a Funeral Home - in Kelowna BC - may be helpful
https://www.google.ca/webhp?source=search_app&gws_rd=ssl...

they should be able to advise - if hey handled the arrangements - for any of the LOFTUS family.
Funeral Homes may take information for the Registration of Death - may also take information if an Obituary was to be published.

With a date of Death - Public Library - in Kelowna - may hold newspapers in their collection may offer help
