Hi Kungfu, Thank you for your speedy reply. I wonder if you have any names that might ring a bell, Do you remember the Brophys who lived above Wellington on Third Ave.
I lived on third ave near LaSalle from 1939 to 1956, and went to Willibrord from 1st to 11th. Gord
Did you know either of the Barr boys, Ed and Jim. They went to St.Willibroads
and they lived on Fourth Ave., between Verdun & Bannantyne. Or did you know Babs Lowe, Barbara Booth who both also went to St. Willibroads.

Hi. You mention Lorraine Allen. Is she the sister of the late Bernie? I knew a Lorraine many years ago. She was girlfriend of Dougie Ross.
I can see this is an old post but I am keen to know if anyone on here knows the Martin family. They lived on 2nd Ave. 1935-1940s number 644. It would have been John (Jack) and his wife and I think his brother Micheal who would have been in his 20s. Any help would be great.
Peter (UK)
Does anyone remember or has family that lived at 644 2nd Ave, 1935-1940s. John (Jack) Martin and his wife and his brother Micheal Martin lived there. Any help would be great.
