WESCOMBE, John - Victoria, BC, Canada
I am not related to the Wescombe family, however, I have a clipping from the Victoria Colonist from Wednesday, September 24th, 1958.The piece was on a couple of old men playing cribbage at the Citizens' Recreation Rooms (which I believe were located at the Naval Veterans Branch No 42 of the Royal Canadian Legion).One of the men was my Great Uncle, Robert Ingram, and the other was a man named John Wescombe. The article says that BOTH men had no family here.Such a shame, as Robert Ingram DID have family here - MY family!But, we weren't in touch, so we lost a family opportunity.It dawned on me that Mr. Wescombe may also have had family... just not family he was in touch with.That is why, should anyone here believe they are relatives, I would be happy to provide you with a copy of the clipping.
