This is a massive long shot, so please accept my apologies now for the limited information i have.

My mum has given me very brief details of relatives of hers who moved to Canada before WW2.

Here goes:

Jack and Nan (possibly Ann) Hughes from Anglesey, Wales moved to Alberta/Calgary before WW2. They had twin daughters Dorren and Marlene who would be in their 70s ish now so they would possibly of been born in the 30s.

We arent 100% sure their surname is Hughes either!!

Im really sorry to give such limited information, but Iif anyone has any ideas or information for me, i would be eternally grateful.

Look forward to hearing from you all!!

Kind Regards

Kelly

Dea, yes, the children were born in England and Margee, thank you! It may well have been rosalene, i will ask my mum and get back you tomorrow. I take it that Marlene and rosalene above were twins?

Thanks again

Yes, I'm sure they must be twins, registered at the same time, same volume and page numbers and same mother's maiden name of Hall.
