Greetings from Nanaimo, British Columbia! My grandfather, TOM (TIM) WALTER BURWELL, born 6 April 1884 in Leeds, YKS, England. He left England for Winnipeg in 1903 where he married ALICE BASTION. They had a son, LOUIS WALDEN BURWELL. Alice may have had a daughter, MAUD, from a previous marriage. Alice died in 1910, and Tim sent to England for his love, KATE CECIL STUBBS, born 30 December 1879. Tim and Kate married 26 January 1911. A son, RALPH DAVID BURWELL, was born March 25, 1913. In April of 1915, TIM had signed up for the war (5th Cdn Mounted Rifles), so KATE returned to England with the two boys and very much pregnant - my mother, CLARICE CECIL BURWELL, was born June 1, 1915. They remained in England until April 1925, when Tim, Kate & the boys returned to Canada (Winnipeg); Clarice stayed in England until May 1929. Clarice married William Reginald Cunningham, and the family lived in Winnipeg until 1939, when Clarice & Reg moved to Vancouver, their parents following soon after. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
