Alva Allyn, b. abt 1861, Indiana, USA, last known to be in Vancouver, BC, 1920s
Alva Allyn was born abt 1861 in Indiana, USA. He moved to the northwest part of the USA with his parents, Ethan and Christiana Allyn. From there he moved to Vancouver, BC. He was last known to be in Vancouver, working as a carpenter, in the 1920s. I would be interested in learning what became of him, i.e. finding a death record, obituary, gravestone, etc.

I checked the B.C. Archives and there is no record of him either marrying or dying In British Columbia.

He was listed as A. J. Allyn in the 1937 Vancouver city directory. He lived on Homer St. He would have been 77 at the time. Any information on him after this date would be welcome.
