Donald Sarjeant to Tom Wright - email dated 15 February 1999:
My grandmother was Mabel, as you suggest; grandfather was Andrew Reid, a Scot. He died at age 47 about 1908. They had two children - my mother Elsie, and Kenneth. Incidentally, Ken's second name was Hurst - now I know where that came from!
Ken and his wife Louise (Peggy) had no children of their own but adopted Madeline's daughter at the age of about one year after Madeline's untimely death at age 22 or so. Ken and Peggy divorced when Barbara was quite young, and Peggy moved with Barbara to Vancouver. I expect she's still there, although I have not kept in touch - and must admit I can't remember her married name!
