Looking for Evans Descendants

Looking for Evans Descendants

I am trying to track down the the descendants of Lt.-Col. Harry Ilsley Evans and Dorothy Keith (Lowe) Evans.

Harry Ilsley Evans was born in Hampton, Kings County, New Brunswick on 24 Jul 1895 to Edwin George Evans and Lillian Blanche Fowler. He died at the Victoria Public Hospital 12 Apr 1965 and was buried in the family plot in the Hampton Rural Cemetery, Hampton, Kings County, New Brunswick. According to his death notice, he was well known in Fredericton and Oromocto as the first chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the town of Oromocto, a post he retired from in 1961. For a number of years he served as the administrator at the Department of Verteran's Affairs in Saint John. When he died in 1965, he was survived by his Dorothy, who was living in Oromocto, and four daughters; Mrs. Harry Burroughs of Santurce, Puerto Rico, Mrs. W.G. Colbourne of Windsor, Ontario, Mrs. John C. Smith of Fredericton, and Mrs. George E. Crowe of Oswego, New York. He was also survived by eight grandchildren. I have no idea what the names of his daughters were or which of them had children and their names.

According to his wife Dorothy's headstone, found in Hampton Rural Cemetery, she died in 1993, but unfortunately, that is all I know about her death. I have no actual date for her. Dorothy was born circa 1898 in New Brunswick, and they were married 4 Nov 1923 in Saint John, Saint John County, New Brunswick.

If any of this looks familiar to anyone out there, I would love some help please. I have hit a wall with this branch of my family tree, and would love to be able to find some information on any of their descendants.

Thanks in advance.
