I am looking for information about my parents (George Luker and Janet (Jane) Cunningham) in their school days. If there is anyone who knows them from their school days that is still alive I would appreciate hearing from you.

Hi Brian (BPL4719), do you have a brother named Jimmy? Were your parents C&W performers?
ReplyDeletedid your mom and dad play at the blue angel and your brother george also played with them my brother allan johnston knew you guys if its the same family.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Luker played at St Clements Church for a fund raiser in the early 60's) I was in Cub's then. I believe they were related somehow to McNaugton or Main. My (step) grandmother knew them. I seem to remember visiting them on 2nd or 4th avenue. If this is the same family, i can ask my Mom, Reita, about them Bill (Willie) McKiernon
ReplyDelete"Grandma Bessie" McNaughton/Lummis/Main was Jimmy's great aunt as I remember. Are you still there Brian?

ReplyDeleteBessie Mcnaughton is your grandmother? I have more than one
brother, I have two brothers, one is named George, he's the oldest, then
comes Jimmy, then me. If you were refering to my brother Jimmy when you
mentioned great aunt, I'm not exactly sure of that because what I was told
was that Bessie is my grandmother's cousin. Bessie would be are 3rd cousin.
Okay, I just knew for sure that there was a family link there. Bessie McNaughton married my grandfather (mom's dad) when I was a baby. She passed away a few years ago, well into her 90's.

ReplyDeleteWho is your mother? Who is your grandfather (Bessie's husband)?
Which one of Bessie's granddaughters are you? Do you live in Montreal?
Leslie Lummis was my grandfather. I'm in Saskatchewan.
ReplyDeleteyes they did what I am surprised at is I am communicating with Alan Johnson's sister, I am not sure if I know your name it's possible.
ReplyDeleteyour right Willie you do have the right family, we lived at 382 Second Ave until June of 1982, then moved to 191 Fourth Ave. in July 1982. Thanks for the piece of info that you had written I was unaware of that. That must have been before I was born.
ReplyDeleteregarding the relation to your (step) grandmother, yes we are related Bessie McNaughton is my grandmother's cousin, so if my figuring is right you and your siblings are 5th cousins to us.
ReplyDeleteWere your parents friends of Edith and Bud Earle? I lived upstairs over Edith and Bud on Riverview and I recall the name of the Luker's coming up in conversation and attending parties that my folks had. Don't remember the first names though. If they are the same folks Edith is still living at the same place on Riverview
