Hugh Frederic Ponton emigrated from Sweden (he was a British citizen however) in 1924 and in 1930 married Verma Loretta Kehoe in British Columbia. They both died 1986-1988 in Vancouver
I am trying without any luck to find out if they had any children. The web sites I have looked at only go up to 1903
Can anyone help please

They certainly appear to have had at least one daughter. Both Hugh and Verma's death certificates are on the website https://search-collections.royalbcmus...ywordGenealogy
The informant on Hugh's death certificate was his daughter Mary L Hall, and on Verma's - Peter B Hall son in law.

Hugh and Verna's marriage certificate is also on the Royal BC Museum website and very informative it is too.

many thanks Almach and Goes Right. I have now traced the Royalbcmus website and as you say it is very interesting.
I have tried to trace the subsequent birth of Mary L Ponton but without success. Can you find it for me Almach

I very much doubt whether there will be birth and marriage records for Mary L online, sorry. It is likely she is still alive and her details protected.
