Description
Portrait of the Oates family, (l-r) Sylvia, Eardley, Anne, and Jennifer.
Photo Inscription/Caption
From donor's album: A studio picture of our family. By this time Sylvia would have been nine and I would have been seven. Sylvia learned schoolwork on the boat on the way over from India, and skipped Grade one, so at 9 she would have been in grade 5. I was in grade two - in Miss Cairnduff's class. She was my teacher for grades 1-3 - one of my favourite teachers. Sylvia had Mrs. Jamison for 3 years (gr. 4-6). Willoughby School had 2 classrooms and an outhouse.
People/Subject
Oates, Anne
Eardley Connors Oates married Anne Barnes-Cooke. They had two daughters born while the family lived in India: Sylvia in about 1944 and Jennifer (later Phipps) born on Oct. 9, 1945. The family moved to BC, and stayed with friends in New Westminster before buying a farm on James Road in Willoughby on January 13, 1948. Neighbours here were the Light family, and the Marsh (Margaret and Marie) family. While the family lived here, Anne's father, Lewis Barnes-Cooke, fell in a well. Granddaughter Jennifer found him and he was rescued (it was mentioned in the Langley Advance newspaper). The girls attended Willoughby School before the family moved to Burnaby in 1954.
