    1. [CAN-Manitoba] Help Needed Speare/Mitchell Family
    2. Thomas Peeke
    3. Hi Everyone I am a 26 year old, Genealogist based in Oxford, UK. I am trying to track the family of my Grandfathers first Cousin Elizabeth Speare who married Charles B Mitchell and went to live in Denver. It has also been said that Elizabeth (Betty) could have ended up in California. I have also been told that she had at least one child. Elizabeth was born on 20th June 1912 in Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada her full name was Elizabeth Mary Speare. She is the daughter of William Henry Speare (24/08/1888- November 1962) & Mary Jane Rogers (Died 1919). During the First World War Elizabeth was living in the UK with her brother William known as Bill (24/08/1915-31/05/1999) they spent some of the time with their Mothers family in Helmshore, Lancashire & some in Torquay, Devon. Their Mother died during a Flu Epidemic in 1919 and the Children were sent back to Winnipeg to join their father and his new wife Elizabeth Gillies/MacColl. There was another Child born Clifford Speare (16/07/1920 - 22/04/1997). The family later moved from Winnipeg to Chicago. Does any one have access to any Address directory for Denver in the 1950s & 60s. I would love to know if their are any Charles Mitchell's listed. I have a business address for Charles Mitchell Charles B. Mitchell Insurance Adjuster 858 Gas and Electric Building Denver 2, Colorado I have some Photos of Elizabeth when she was younger if that would help clarify who she is. Elizabeth would be 90 now and based on the age of some of her female cousins could still be alive. Does anyone know how I can track down Elizabeth or her siblings? I have a copy of her Birth Certificate. I would also love to hear from any one who knows of links to the Speare Family. Regards Thomas Peeke Ps I am sending this email to all the Mailing lists that cover the areas linked to the Speare family in the hope that someone may be able to help -- Thomas Peeke
