Hi Brian, Not directly what you were looking for but I did a quick search in our CD of the "Gazetteer & Business Directory of Canada - 1930, Product # CA0035, for the name Bentley in BC. The one "hit" which looked possible was listed under "Logging" and was for "Bentley and Kennedy" of Minstral Island. This must be a small place because it didn't rate a mention in the Gazetteer part of the directory. Not much I'm afraid, but it may help. Of course I'm assuming the family traded under their family name. Most people did in those days. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc. Attn: Malcolm Moody - President P.O.
