My cousin Peter Wilby (Winnipeg) has just passed on. I wondered if he was related to Huck (Harold) Wilby and his brother John? My (and Peter's) late uncle Arnold Wilby ("Wilby") had a ranch within the Jasper Park, it is now the Pallisades, a research centre in the Rockies. Peter lived there for some of his younger life, with his mother, Nancy (Anna Gertrude) Wilby. His own father ("Doc" Wilby) had moved to China. I would so much appreciate a reply. You can get me at: petermatthews@live.ca Thankyou. - Posted by: Carolyn (Wilby) Matthews (possible relative) on: Apr 19, 2012
