    Text Hi Cliff, 

    Sorry about the confusion there. 

    My grandparents were Helen Irene Russell Bonyun (Oct 23 1922-Aug 2005) and Wellesley Hutchinson Bonyun (1921-1999). They had 3 children: Richard b. 1943, Gail b. 1948 and my dad Lawrence Robert (1951-2018) Wellesley and Hellen Irene were divorced in 1965 and Wellesley Hutchinson Bonyun later married Flo Naismith (1913-1996). 

    His father (my great grandfather) emigrated from San Fernando Trinidad circa 1912. It seems they visited a few times before actually moving here to Canada. 
    John Langford Dudley Bonyun (1892-1923) died tragically in his home at 27 Kippendavie Ave in Toronto when my grandfather Wellesley was only 2 years. His wife Ethel V Webber born in Hamilton, ON (1891-1950). 

    His father was Langford Wellesley Bonyun (1853-1912) and his mother was Langford’s second wife Mary Eugenia “Maud” Hutchinson b. 1873 ( I have found multiple dates of death for her, not sure of the exact one) 

    Langford Wellesley’s grandmother was a Gittens I believe. 

    I have pictures and headstones and some documents of some of these people is you are interested. 

    Thanks,
