Staples family, Dunrea, about 1911
I am seeking descendants of Isaac Staples, who was born in Ontario and lived in Dunrea, Manitoba in 1911. He married Elizabeth Way. They had several children including Stella, b. Sep 1894, Mary, Feb 1896, Edith, Dec 1898, Flora, May 1900, Harold, Sept 1901, Howard, Feb 1903, Cecilia, Apr 1902, John, Aug 1904, Charles, April 1907, Clara, Mar 1909, The eldest child Stella (a spinster) was housekeeper in the home of my grandfather, Thomas Wellington Leslie in Edmonton from about 1920 until his death in 1948. I believe that Edith Staples married Fred Caughley.
I have old Staples family photos that may be of interest to some members of the family.

My partner's grandfather, William Henry WAY, was a 1/2 brother of Elizabeth WAY married to Ike STAPLES. Ike is shown as both Isaac and Isaiah on the records this branch as the family has. Isaac/Isaiah and Elizabeth are buried in the Ninette Cemetery, Ninette, MB.
I don't have any knowledge as to where their descendants may be but I do know where 2 of their children are buried. John Thomas [born 16 November 1905 - died 1976] and his wife, Verna K., and Charles E. [born 14 April 1907 - died 1981] and his wife Maria SUCHA are all buried in the Killarney Cemetery, Killarney, MB.
There is a Walter Harold STAPLES [died 14 August 1972] buried in Brookside Cemetery in Winnipeg that I suspect may be the Harold you have in your records.
There is a marriage record for Edith STAPLES and Fred Columbus CAUGHEY, 23 June 1921 in Winnipeg on the MB Vital Statistics site.
Do you know if the Stella STAPLES buried 30 May 1953 in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Edmonton is the same one as was your grandfather's housekeeper? Mount Pleasant is only a few blocks away from us and if this is our Stella we would certainly visit her resting place.
IF, but only IF, you don't hear from any of the descendants of Isaac/Isaiah and Elizabeth I would be happy to take custody of their family photos and see to it that they are preserved and cared for, by this branch of the WAY family.

Hello, I am the granddaughter of Charlie Staples and Maria Sucha. I would be interested in some Staples family photographs. Isaac Staples was my Great Grandfather, I believe.
