Thomas and Elizabeth SIMPSON and T A SIMPSON Jr on Nairn, Talbot and Kenaston Ave in Winnipeg

Thomas and Elizabeth SIMPSON and T A SIMPSON Jr on Nairn, Talbot and Kenaston Ave in Winnipeg

Classification: Query
Surnames: SIMPSON, CULLEN, YOUNG, WILSON and WATSON
My Grand Uncle Thomas SIMPSON (b.Scotland 1893) and his wife Elizabeth Greenhorn or Goodman (b. Scotland 1895) lived on Talbot and Nairn streets in Winnipeg

Their son T A SIMPSON Jr (b. 1920 Winnipeg) served in the Canadian Air Force, was employed by the D. N. D. and lived at 380 Kenaston Ave as late as 1968.

I remember meeting these people in 1962 at the burial of Margaret Ann WATSON nee' SIMPSON.

After a year of searching on my own I am asking for help locating this branch of our family tree.

Forgot to mention that this obit came from The Winnipeg Tribune, dated Thursday, December 1, 1949.

I noticed there are 2 Thomas Simpson's in the 1921 Canada Census with a wife, Elizabeth, and living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Do you think the obit I found is the Thomas A. Simpson you are looking for?

Hello Jane:

This is my Grand Uncle Thomas. I knew it immediately when I saw the photograph. My paternal Grandparents are mentioned as well as two other Grand Uncles and a Grand Aunt. Your kindness resulted in a wealth of information being added to our tree in the past couple of days.

I have a photograph taken in 1959 with myself, all of my siblings and my paternal cousins and we were not able to identify everyone in the photograph until now.

Thank You so much.

Chip Watson

Could you please find the obituary for Isabella Simpson nee' Cullen Young (1854 - 1929)?
She is my Third Great Grandmother and passed away on 29 May 1929 in Winnipeg.

I would like to find who the surviving children were in 1929. I am named after her family in Scotland.

Cullen

Hi Cullen,

Surnames: WILSON, SIMPSON
Harry is Henry already in your tree. William and Marion most likely passed away before their first birthdays. Arthur passed away in 1942, Thomas in 1949 and James in 1950. Mrs George D Wilson is Isabella SIMPSON and Mrs James Watson is Margaret Ann SIMPSON who passed away in 1962. I would begin searching for obituaries for George D WILSON of Winnipeg and Isabella WILSON of Winnipeg. Search Brookside and Elmwood cemeteries in Winnipeg.
