married Henrietta Sills in 1875.
| email from Lois J. Clement (Nov 2007) |
I have printed your geneology, because my great grandfather and his siblings are part of it. I saw a photo of Dr. Elgin van der Voort (this is the way my grandfather always spelled it) and he's blonde. His wife, Henrietta, is said to be related to the opera singer Beverly Sills.
Elgin and Henrietta had one child, May. May married Douglas Rothwell, and had one daughter, Marian. Marian married Ron Calder, and had Elgin's great grandchildren, Douglas and Suzanne Calder.
Ben's daughter Carrie had Edna and Elfrida (Elfie). Elfrida's painting-work was seen on the American Antiques Roadshow. Both sisters had been in Muskoka, visiting their cousin, Reay. Elfie gave me a necklace of daisy beads. Morley Penshaw van der Voort married Hermenia Walker, and had Morley Carmen ("Hap", because he was always cheerful) and Reay Curtis. Hermenia died, and Morley married Lillis Sleeth, and they had Marshall, who still lives. He must be in his eighties, now.
Carmen ("Hap") married Irene, and they had Michael, who with Wendy, have three children and a crew of grandchildren. Reay Curtis married Tillie Cleminshaw, and they had two girls, Joan Beatrice and Alice Evelyn van der Voort. Joan has Ruth, Lois, Phyllis, Aura, Becky, John, and Lloyd. Lyn (Alice E.) had Doug, Brenda and Barb. Doug died young. Brenda and Barb live in Florida. Barb is a grandmother.
I am Lois, of Joan, Reay, and Morley P. Aunt Lyn's kids are both younger than I am. Thought you might like to know that Elgin and Morley each have an existing set of descendants. |
