Thank you, Gins! Your research is a definite match. When I examined the marriage certificate, George's age shows as a "faded number 21." There is a slight curl showing his age of 26.
So, George Bunyan was sighted in Scotland in 1945, which fits. His wife, my grandmother, Winifred emigrated to Canada after my aunt, Jeanne married an RCAF pilot in 1946. My own mother, Eileen emigrated with my father, Stanton in 1947 with my brother, who was 9 years of age at the time. I was born in Canada.
I wonder where I could search for siblings and possible new family for George?

Thanks, again for your time!! :-)
