Thelma Chestina Beckwith?
I am looking for information on Thelma Chestina Beckwith. She would be my grandmother and had passed away shortly before I was born....somewhere around 1973-1975. She had married George Lochead. I beleive they lived all their life in Westville/ Stellarton area. They had the following children. Bruce, Robert (Bobby), Elmer, Juanita, Irene, Beatrice, Thelma/Ellen, John David. I think Thelma had a brother John Alexander.
Thelma BECKWITH is the daughter of John Newton BECKWITH b. 1850 d. 1952 a longtime resident of Westville, and a shoemaker. I have been told John arrived in NS from Scotland (the family name originates from England
with many arriving in NS via USA as Planters).
