ROSS--Meldrum Creek

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 5:46AM GMT
Classification: Query

My mother lived at Meldrum Creek in the late 1920's and was friends with the "Ross girls" as she called them. Don's younger sister Florence "Flo" married a Schumacher and lived just outside of Williams Lake and his sister Blanche lived right in Williams Lake--sorry I can't remember her married name. I met them when I was a child in 1958.

Sorry, Donald Ross' younger sister, Florence's married name was SCOONOVER.

I saw the ROSS family listed on the 1921 census, but you probably already have that.

Hi Rick,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. My life has been totally consumed by university for the past few years. My great grandmother was Alberta Pearl's sister, Melva June Kinvig nee Morgan. Some believe they called her Cissy, but I'd have to ask my grandmother to verify if that were true or not. Buster's (Bud) real name was Dallas Jefferson. I have the rest of their siblings in my family tree. Last I heard, Norman's (he was Alberta Pearl's brother) wife Rose was still living in Quesnel, BC. She might be a great source of information for you. Anyway, the family lived in Waskatenau, AB before moving to Strathnaver, BC (near Quesnel). They lived on a farm in Strathnaver, and the road which her dad's (Daniel Jefferson Morgan) property was on has since been renamed Morgan Road. I believe that Alberta Pearl was in a school picture in a book about the Strathnaver area. Daniel and Pearl (Alberta's parents) were also briefly mentioned in a book from the Waskatenau area. The titles are currently escaping me, but I did find them using the surname and places in a Google search. There was also a man named Stretch who was very helpful in finding information related to Alberta Pearl. I think he also had another picture of her. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced his contact information. I've invited you to view my family tree as that may be of some assistance. Alternatively, I am more readily available via private message. If you have Skype I'd be happy to give you my username in a a private message as well.

Cheers,
Kerri

Wow! Thanks for the info Kerri and invite to the tree. My wife found a blurb about Daniel in the
Cariboo Observer 1931 about him going in front of judge for the third time same offense and if once more he would be deported. Stretch is my "fist cousin once removed" His dad and my grandfather were brothers. I have gotten a lot of info from him and from the book he did on our family tree. Would love to Skype or meet up with you. A lot going on right now but will be in touch.
