Eric:
I have 17 Jan 1925 from Jack¹s file as Wilfred Lloyd McCulley¹s birth date
but it doesn¹t give the location.
Sorry, I missed his second wife¹s name at the front of his obit. N.B. obits
are written differently than I¹m use to.
The following is very confusing:
Husband of the late Christine Mae ***and special companion of the late
Myrtle Tonge***. He is also survived by his ***five chosen children; Allen
(Sylvia) Smith of Quispamsis, Gary (Joanne) Smith of Ontario, Colleen
(Donald) Durant of Saint John, Dianne (John) Mailman of Nerepis, and Wayne
Tonge of Barnesville.*** and his special friend and companion Beatrice
Gardner.***
Did he have special lady friends in addition to wife, Christine Mae? Did he
befriend Myrtle Tonge and then adopt/foster one of her children, Wayne Tonge
along with the other 4 children mentioned?
Thanks for the death date for Winnie; I¹ll add it to the bucket list,
hopefully next week.
Dave
