Emily Bridges was the widow of Henry Richard Bridges. She lived at 1100 Gilford Street in 1919 and 1920, along with her daughters, Alice and Olive. They were at 1900 Barclay Street in 1921.
Family Background and Early Life
Emily was born Emily Clarke, about 1865, in North Petherton, Somerset, England. Her parents were James Mansfield Clarke (1825–1897) and Elizabeth Stark (1828–1903). James Mansfield Clarke was a shepherd, green grocer and farmer.
Emily was baptized on August 20, 1865.
Marriage to Henry Richard Bridges
On May 14, 1889, in Bridgwater, Somerset, England, Emily married Henry Richard Bridges. He was born about 1867, probably in Bridgwater, Somerset. His parents were Oliver Bridges and Elizabeth Porter.
From 1891 to 1911, Henry and Emily were living in or near Bridgwater, along with their children. Henry worked as a printer.
To Canada
In 1913, the family travelled to Canada on the ship Royal Edward.
It appears that Henry died about 1914, possibly in or near Calgary, Alberta.
In 1914, two Bridges family members were in the city directory for Calgary. (They were listed under the surname “Bridger.” Phyllis appeared under the name “Myra.”)
In 1915 and 1916, the directory listed Emily and three daughters under the name “Bridges.” They were living at 1816 33rd Avenue West in Calgary.
To Vancouver
Emily, along with her daughters, Alice and Olive, were in Vancouver by 1917. (Phyllis had married Arthur Gwynne in 1916.)
They lived at the following addresses in Vancouver.
| 1917 | 1223 West Georgia Street |
| 1918 | 1269 West Georgia Street |
| 1919-1920 | 1100 Gilford Street |
| 1921 | 1900 Barclay Street |
| 1922 | 1307 Harwood Street |
| 1923 | 899 Broughton Street. |
They did not appear in the Vancouver directories after 1923.
To United States
In 1923, Emily and her daughters, Alice and Myra, travelled to the United States.
In 1929, Emily again went to the United States.
In 1930, Emily was living in Oakland, California.
She died in Oakland on August 20, 1932.
Henry Bridges and Emily Clarke had the following children.
Alice Elizabeth Bridges
Alice Elizabeth Bridges was born in Bridgwater, Somerset, probably on March 31, 1891.
She lived with her parents in England and Alberta. She later lived with her mother in Vancouver and California.
Alice was living in Oakland, California in 1934, when she travelled to New York City.
Alice sailed from New York to Plymouth, England. She arrived on January 23, 1934, and her destination was 88 Spur Road in Orpington, Kent.
In 1934, she married Arthur Roland Watson in Bromley, Kent, England. Arthur was a solicitor’s clerk who was born on October 12, 1888 in Bermondsey, Surrey, England. His parents were Frederick William Watson (1859-1932) and Elizabeth Rebecca Barker (1861-1927).
In 1939, Alice and Arthur were living at 88 Spur Road in Orpington, along with their son, Henry J. Watson. Arthur was a solicitor’s managing clerk.
Arthur died on June 26, 1962, in Hove, west of Brighton on the south coast of England.
In 1965, Alice was living in Hove.
It appears that Alice died on January 3, 1975.
Alice’s son, Henry James Watson, was born in Bromley, Kent, England on August 21, 1935. He died in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England in 2000.
Phyllis Myra Bridges
Phyllis Myra Bridges was born on April 3, 1893, in Highbridge, Somerset, England.
On June 27, 1916, in Calgary, Alberta, she married Arthur William Caird Gwynne.
Arthur was born in Greenock, Scotland, on January 14, 1890. His parents were Daniel Gwynne and Sarah Hughes.
Arthur was living with the Bridges family in Calgary in 1916. He died on October 23, 1918, during the influenza epidemic in Vancouver.
Phyllis later married Richard John Allison Mcguinness, who was an accountant. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, on November 14, 1876. His parents were Robert Mcguinness and Catherine Keenan.
Richard died in on October 13, 1952, in Davis Bay, British Columbia
Phyllis died in West Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 8, 1961.
Arthur Gwynne and Phyllis Myra Bridges had two daughters.
Phyllis Bridges Gwynne
Phyllis Bridges Gwynne was born in Vancouver on May 7, 1917.
In 1940, she married Basil O’Boyle Nicholson (1914-1990).
Phyllis died on August 16, 2004, in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
Olive Ruth Gwynne
Olive Ruth Gwynne was born in Vancouver on May 26, 1919.
On May 21, 1941, in Vancouver, she married Charles Cleveland Cunningham (often called “Cleve”). He was born in Vancouver on March 14, 1916. His parents were Frederick Woodman Cunningham and Edna Elizabeth Howison.
Cleve died in Abbotsford, British Columbia on January 20, 1997.
She died on December 13, 1997.
Olive Irene (Ariana) Bridges
Olive Irene (Ariana) Bridges was born in Highbridge, Somerset, on July 14, 1895.
By 1930, she had married Leonard Charles Hastings, who was born in Brantford, Ontario, on September 13, 1890 (although some sources say 1889). Olive and Leonard were living in Oakland, California in 1930.
In 1940, Olive and Leonard were still in Oakland. Leonard was a store manager for an automobile accessory company. Olive was a bookkeeper for a restaurant chain.
In 1942, Leonard registered with the United States military. He was working with Western Auto Supply Company. He and Olive were living at 26 Sheridan Road in Oakland.
Leonard died in Alameda County, California, on September 18, 1943.
Olive applied to become a naturalized United States citizen in 1946; it appears that she became naturalized in 1947, under her married name of Olive Irene Hastings.
In 1950, she had been on a trip to Scotland; she flew on a Norwegian airplane from Prestwick, Scotland, to New York City.
Olive later married Alexander John Robertson. He may have been born in Brantford, Ontario, on October 25, 1890; if so, he registered with the United States military in 1942, and he died in California in October 1963.
Olive died in Victoria, British Columbia, on March 23, 1965.
