- Question 83895 asked on 2011-08-29 09:06:34
This is going to be a long question. Please be patient! My
husband's great uncle is George Hook. (Born 1886 in London,
England) His parents were James Hook and Kate Hughes. We
don't know exactly when he arrived in Canada. His wife,
Clara had twin girls on 23 Feb 1914 in Grassey Lake Alberta.
After the birth Clara was very ill and George named the
girls Clara and Matilda. On 25 Feb 1914 Clara died and on 4
March 1914 baby Clara died. I would like to know what
happened to Matilda. Did she survive against all the odds?
What Happened to George? Did he remarry, or devote his life
to his daughter? I can find no mention of either George or
Matilda in any UK records. i.e marriage or death Is there
any record of a death for Clara or baby Clara in 1914? Or
even marriage or death records for George or Matilda? I have
a copy of a very, very sad letter that George Hook sent to
his father James Hook. The letter was sent on 6th March 1914
from Grassey Lake.

I will be coming to Calgary in September and hope to visit
your library on Sunday, 9/11. What are your hours that day?
I am looking for a book titled As the Years go By, which I
think may be about the Three Hills Community. I believe one
was published in 1970 and perhaps later, but I don't have
that year. Do you have a copy of either publication? If so,
where would I find it and may I make photocopies? What are
the costs of copies? Thanks for your help with my questions!

- Question 84162 asked on 2011-09-10 14:59:42
I am interesting in finding information about the marriage
of Dr. Heber S. Shirreffs to Katherine (Kitty)Welby which
probably took place in Daysland, Alberta between 1907 and
1911. Dr Shirreffs was the doctor in Daysland coming there
about 1907 and his wife Katherine "Kitty" Welby was from
Ireland and worked in a local lawyer's office.An article in
a local newspaper would be a wonderful source of
information.The marriage most likely was in either 1910 or
1911 since the 1911 and 1916 census states that 1910 was her
year of immigration. Is there a local cemetery committee
from which I could find out if she is buried in Daysland and
also when her death took place? many thanks for your
possible help. Elizabeth Waymann

Hi there. I hope that you will please be able to answer my
reference question here, although I reside in Ontario. Now I
recently watched an episode of the Canadian TV series called
PET HEROES that dramatized a bear attack from all the way
back to August 7, 1952. In this incident, forest ranger
Ronnie Lyle from Meadows Ranger Station was injured by a
bear in the vicinity of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
However, despite Lyle's injury, he managed to crawl onto his
horse & ride away to safety. Another denizen of Meadows, Don
Fregren, now in his 70's, was interviewed for PET HEROES as
he was 16 in '52 & remembers this incident well. Anyway, do
you have any record of this incident, assuming this story is
true to begin with? HOWEVER,I read on your website's FAQ
that you can not handle in-depth research, so I hope that my
inquiry isn't too much trouble for me to ask of you. I also
hope that I am asking the right people. Thanks
