John William Laird is listed in the City Directory as a CPR conductor and living at 231 - 11th Street but not found after 1925. I did not find them in the Cemetery Index. At 60 +, they could have been transferred or retired and moved away. At that address was Jennie, a teacher and Olive. There were no listings for Glenwright. There are phone listings for Lairds in Brandon and are available through Canada 411. Let me know if there are other things I could look at.

Thanks Dan; Could one assume then that by 1925 Dorothy Laird had passed away, Thomas and Rosie had left home? I found a Wm. Laird passing away in Vancouver, but no Dorothy. The age of Wm. at time of death is about right. I'm going to ask some kind soul to look up his death cert for me to see if he's my Laird. I really don't know where else to look. But I will keep at it.
