Early Life in Ontario
John Herbert Donaldson Hulme was born in Belleville, Ontario on July 14, 1867. (He was often called “Herbert D. Hulme,” “H.D. Hulme,” or “J.H.D. Hulme”.) His parents were Lt.-Col. Robert Croft Hulme (1843-1908) and Hanna (“Annie”) Maria Henderson (1840-1907). Robert Hulme was a surveyor and manager of the city waterworks in Belleville.
Annie Hulme died in Belleville on August 11, 1907.
Robert died in Belleville on January 29, 1908.
Herbert studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto. In 1892, he became a member of the Ontario bar (Law Society of Upper Canada).
He practiced law in Toronto until the late 1890s.
To the Yukon Territory
By 1898, Herbert had established a law practice at Dawson City in the Yukon.
On August 28, 1900, in Centre Island, Ontario, he married Caroline Alice Jones. She was born in Toronto, Ontario on January 8, 1876. Her parents were AlphonseFrederick Jones (dates) and Barbara Alice Connon (dates).
In 1900 he was a major in the Dawson Rifles of Canada.
In 1902, Herbert and Caroline travelled from Dawson to London, England for the coronation of Edward VII.
Life in Vancouver
In 1904, Herbert arrived in Vancouver, where he became a member of the law firm of Taylor, Hulme and Innes.
He first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1905. He was living at 743 Denman Street, and he was working as a barrister (lawyer).
Herbert lived at the following addresses in Vancouver.
| 1905 | 743 Denman Street |
| 1906 to 1909 | 1834 Barclay Street |
| 1910 to 1934 | 1834 Haro Street |
| 1935 to 1937 | 1745 Comox Street |
In late September or early October 1905, Herbert and Caroline moved from 743 Denman Street to 1834 Barclay Street.
In 1909, Herbert hired Edward Stanley Reeve Mitton to design a house at 1834 Haro Street. Herbert and Caroline moved into the Haro Street house about 1910.
In 1911, Herbert was a major in the 6th Regiment, Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles.

In 1910, Herbert was the deputy district registrar of land titles in Vancouver. In 1912, Arthur Gordon Smith, the registrar of land titles, was on a leave of absence, and the provincial government appointed Herbert as acting deputy registrar of land titles while Mr. Smith was away.
In 1913, Herbert became lieutenant-colonel and commander of the Sixth Regiment of the Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles.
On July 1, 1916, Herbert became the first commanding officer of the 62nd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Although he served overseas with the Canadian forces, he spent much of his time in England dealing with administrative and legal matters, so he did not take part in battlefield action.
In 1918, the Canadian government appointed Herbert to be the head of a court of inquiry to investigate complaints by returned soldiers that the conditions on their ship were unsatisfactory. Some soldiers objected that Herbert was not an appropriate person to do this job, because he had not seen active service during the war. The government proceeded with Herbert as the head of the inquiry.
After the war, Herbert carried on his law practice in Vancouver. He died in Vancouver on December 2, 1937.
Caroline died in Victoria, British Columbia on December 7, 1958.

Tousle-haired boy, speed boat pilot, Cariboo prospector, RCAF Flight Instructor, Realtor/Insurance, Fisherman, pianist, handyman, and best of all, Dad. Now GrandDad to 3 wonderful young people of whom you would be so proud. Our dear Mom, your “prairie rose”, Marion, has been with you now for a year & a half, & we hope the two of you are “dancing the skies on laughter-silvered wings”. You are in our hearts forever.”
Marion Macleay (wife of Gordon Graham Hulme)
Marion Annie Hulme, death notice, Published in The Times Colonist from Mar. 26 to Mar. 29, 2005; http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timescolonist/obituary.aspx?n=marion-annie-hulme&pid=3338366: “Hulme, Marion Annie (nee MacLeay) Passed away suddenly, peacefully at home, in the early hours of a golden spring morning March 22, 2005. Mom was born in Yorkton, Sask. on a cold winter’s day Jan 16, 1915, daughter of John and Annie MacLeay (McLeod), and the first little girl in a family of 6 brothers, sons of Annie & Colin MacLeay Donald, Duncan, Colin (Frank), Norman, Allan & Edward, who have all predeceased her. Mom tragically lost her own Mama, Annie, when she was only 8 years old. Mom will always be deeply cherished and missed by her children, Lesley (Steven) Ames and Diane Taylor and by her precious granddaughters Caroline, Christina and Julie Anne. She leaves many loved cousins, nieces, and nephews in the MacLeay and MacLeod clans, and their families. Marion treasured her MacLeod and MacLeay family roots, which have been so carefully researched by Rod MacLeod of Calgary. She was ever so proud of her Scottish Hebridean Isle of Lewis Gaelic heritage. On Aug 22, 1942, Mom married our Dad, Gordon, a dashing RCAF Flying Instructor. After WWII, they came to BC, where she was to embark upon a lifetime of being the best homemaker and Mom to her family, and caring for her own dear Papa. Her beloved Gordon passed away so young (54), in 1966, and she resourcefully carried on running his Real Estate insurance business in Sidney, Gordon Hulme Ltd., until her retirement at age 72. Mom had always excelled at office organization, court reporting, being an RCMP steno, a legal secretary, and newspaper proofreading. Mom continued to read every line in the papers, clipping and filing the good stuff. She had terrific files of jokes & puzzles. She loved to keep track of local history. She amazed us with her stories of her younger years in Saskatchewan, her “Yorkton Yarns”, organizing many Yorkton Picnic Reunions in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Marion was a loyal member of the Monarchist League of Canada. She enjoyed so many happy times with her wide circle of friends, sharing laughter, chats, trips, garage sales, dinners, and tea. Simon and Pilot, her special cats, were her beloved and comforting companions. Mom found joy in the natural beauties of our Saanich Peninsula and passed this deep appreciation of nature onto her family. “Oh, it’s a wonderful world!” she would exclaim. She greeted each day with joy and enthusiasm, her favourite expression being, “Well, what’s on the agenda today? Anything exciting?” Even in her 91st year, she was ready to go for an adventure at the drop of a hat. She was incredulous that she had reached the milestone of 90 years. “Oh, I can’t be 90! 1 don’t feel THAT OLD I” The family is having a private service this Easter weekend, and a Celebration of Marion’s life will be held in late April or early May, 2005. We will announce the date later for you. If you wish, donations in Mom’s memory may be made to Mount Newton Center, 2158 Mt. Newton X Road, Saanichton BC VBM 2B2, or to Pacific Animal Therapy Society (the visiting pets) 9412 Lauries Lane, Sidney, BC V8L 4L2 Oidche mhath, our Merry Sunshine! 58141”
