| G. Douglas Jeffs (1893 - 1980) and his wife, Eulalie Lillian Mary Jeffs (1893 - 1984) |
This photograph is of Dr. George "Douglas" Jeffs and his wife, Eulalie Lillian Mary Jeffs. They are my wife's maternal grandparents and thus my sons' great grandparents. The year and location of the photograph are unknown at this time.
Douglas and Eulalie were both born in Canada: Douglas in Havelock Township, Peterborough, Ontario on November 25, 1893 and Eulalie in Bond Head, Ontario on February 15, 1893. They were married on October 4, 1919 in York, Ontario. Eulalie's maiden surname was Jeffs and to date no family connection has been discovered between the two Jeffs families.

If they were from Canada, maybe your wife's maternal grandparents visited British Columbia on the west coast? The photo reminds me of Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC (which has totem poles), although the background isn't quite right. Perhaps they were somewhere else on or off the coast, like Haida Gwaii (formerly known as Queen Charlotte Islands)?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo...I love the totem pole! It was probably an amazing view in color.
