Thank you all for your replies - I have a couple of addresses in Winnipeg, but that's all - as well as her Junior High School name which was the Robert H Smith School Winnipeg, but no parents names unfortunately - though she mentions that her father works getting jobs for Veterans coming back from war as he was deemed to old to fight in WW2.

(But think this one is not showing on 1965 list with John and Isabel, so probably born later than 1930?)

There is a Susan Powell, 1930, Toronto, Ontario, in a tree on here.
Have you tried to contact the tree owner?

Does she mention the names of any family member in any of her letters?

I don't have an exact age except I know that the school Susan was attending was a Junior high which would have made her approximately 15 I believe when the letters were written giving an estimated birth year I around 1930ish? my great aunt was a tiny bit older but of a sickly constitution so possibly young for her age.

Welcome to the boards, Claire.

Do you think she was about the same age as your aunt, if so, about what year would she have been born?

Thank-you

This is a real long shot I know, but I've got to try - I have some beautiful letters which were written by a teenage girl - Susan Powell - who was living in Canada to my great Aunt who was her pen pal and was living in the Winnipeg/Manitoba area.

They were written between 1944/45 and I have often wondered not only what became of the articulate Susan, but also if she is either still alive or married and has family still living if they wouldn't want these letters back as an insight into their relations life.

If anyone has any information, or better ideas on how to find out what happened to Susan - please get in touch! As she wouldn't have married till the late 40's or 50's/60's if she did, I assume there's no access to those records without having more information?!
