Hello there and thank you both, Jessie and Tom and Lianne for your help. Lianne, I would appreciate if you could look up the directory for the 1950-55 period and maybe after that to see if and when the address became defunct and then at least I'd have some sort of clue as to time frame. I was also wondering if perhaps Betty did marry Wally Meyers, maybe that would show as a listing also, and perhaps Dudley Milton too. It's a big ask from my end. I have got the death certificate in question and the address shows as Apt 10, 1125 Broughton, Vancouver. I have no idea after that apart from Christina, his widow, remarried to an Orville Johnson. I've searched the phone books online and have found only one Dudley Milton who lives in the United States and also phoned him but alas he is not the one although he was within a year of being the correct age. It seems that I cannot find them unless I hire a detective (lol) but thank you all anyway. They may just turn up out of the blue. Cheers and many thanks for your help, Margaret. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessie & Tom Lennie" <jestom@shaw.ca> To: <otts@hotkey.net.au> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 10:36 AM Subject: RE: [SCTCDN] Milton > Alexander Thomas Milton died in Vancouver July 15, 1955 age 54.
