Cyril Aitken Tweedale was an investment broker and realtor.
He lived at 1101 Gilford Street in 1908, at 2022 Haro Street in 1914 and 1915, and at 1901 Pendrell Street in the early 1920s.
Early Life
Cyril Aitken Tweedale was born at Bacup, Lancashire, England, on June 23, 1881.
Cyril’s parents were Samuel Jacob Tweedale (1851-1908) and Fanny Aitken (1850-1922).
Cyril went to school at Portsmouth Grammar School and at King’s College University.
In 1896 he began working with the London and Westminster Bank in London, England.
To Canada: Barr Colony
In 1903 Cyril came to Canada as a member of the “Barr Colony.” The Reverend Isaac M. Barr had set up a plan to establish a community of British settlers who would take up farming in Saskatchewan. Cyril joined a group of about 2000 proposed settlers, most of whom had almost no experience in farming.
Cyril travelled to Canada on the S.S. Lake Manitoba.
The Lake Manitoba left Liverpool on March 31, 1903.
After an uncomfortable voyage, Cyril arrived in St. John, New Brunswick, on April 3, 1903.
The colonists travelled by special trains to Saskatoon. Many colonists had brought army bell tents for temporary shelter.
At Saskatoon they began an exhausting overland journey by wagon to another camp, which later became the City of Lloydminster.
![“Journey’s end. [Cyril Tweedale] and his outfit reach the site of Lloydminster,” Maclean’s Magazine, May 15, 1938, page 36](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/journey_s-end-cyril-tweedale-and-his-outfit-reach-the-site-of-lloydminster.jpg)
Much of the colonizing scheme was poorly organized, and some colonists gave up and went back to England. Most stayed, however, and many were eventually quite successful. For three years Cyril remained on his homestead, which was southeast of Lloydminster. [The legal description was “SE quarter, section 28, township 48, west of the Third Meridian”.]

To Vancouver
Shortly after the Canadian government granted Cyril the title to his land, he moved to Vancouver in the spring of 1906. He roomed with William Loree, who lived at 823 Seymour Street.
Cyril worked as a notary public with the real estate firm of Richards and Akroyd (later Richards, Akroyd and Gall).
Marriage to Clara Wood
On September 18, 1906, in Vancouver, Cyril married Clara Wood. She was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England on September 9, 1880. Her parents were William Henry Wood and Jane Oliver. (Further information appears on the page for William Henry Wood: https://westendvancouver.wordpress.com/biographies-n-z/biographies-w-x-y-z/wood-william-henry-1841-1916/.)]
Business
Cyril set up his own finance business called London and Western Canada Investment Company. He operated that company until the late 1920s, when he joined the Royal Trust Company.
Manor House
In 1909 Cyril hired Sharp and Thompson to design a house in the Kerrisdale area of Point Grey. The house was on a three-acre plot, near Wilson Road (which later became 41st Avenue). The house was known as “Kerrisdale Manor,” “The Manor,” or “The Manor House.”
In April 1911 Cyril and Clara travelled to Europe.
In June 1911 Cyril offered the Manor House for sale.
![Vancouver Daily World, June 6, 1911, page 25, column 7 [later advertisements changed the distance to Kerrisdale station from “five miles” to “five minutes”].](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/manor-house-kerrisdale-for-sale-vancouver-daily-world-june-6-1911-page-25-column-7.jpg)
In October 1911 Cyril and Clara returned from their trip to Europe.
Harry Walshe Windle (1868-1932) bought the Manor property.
The address of the Manor House later became 2307 West 41st Avenue.
In 1931 the Manor Gardens apartments appeared on the site; it was a complex of five individual buildings grouped in a garden setting. C. V. K. Van Norman was the architect. (This appears to be the apartment group that Michael Kluckner mentions in this article: Finding “Kerrisdale Manor,” by Michael Kluckner; The Vancouver Historical Society Newsletter; Volume 58, Number 6, March 2019, page 4; https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1539ab4c1262580d0e6a79bf8/files/3be0d60d-b0aa-4ccb-ba35-c8da5fb4f0d8/March2019Newsletter_FinalColour.pdf.)
Manor Gardens was the subject of at least two court actions in its early years.
In 1951 a fire damaged part of the property.
After some repairs and renovations Manor Gardens continued to offer rental accommodation until the late 1970s. In 1977 the owner prepared to demolish the building to make way for a new condominium development.
![“30 Tenants Hope for Reprieve from Eviction,” Vancouver Province, September 2, 1977, page 27, columns 1-4. [first portion of article].](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/30-tenants-hope-for-reprieve-from-eviction-vancouver-province-september-2-1977-page-27-columns-1-4.jpg)
By June 1979 the new condominiums were available for inspection.
Tweedale Block
About 1910 Cyril built the Tweedale Block at 343 East Hastings Street.
![[Tweedale Block], Building on Hastings Street, March, 1972, Vancouver Public Library, VPL Accession Number: 85874BB](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/tweedale-block-building-on-hastings-street-march-1972.jpg)
Gilford Court
In 1912 Cyril built the Gilford Court apartments at 1901 Pendrell Street.
Military Life and Social Activities
Cyril became active in military affairs in Vancouver.
He belonged to the Canadian Club, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, the Vancouver Hunt Club, the Vancouver Auto Club, and he was also a member of the Vancouver Horse Show Association.
He was a director of the Richmond Agricultural and Industrial Association. He was also a member of the Progress Club and the Canadian Highway Association.
During the First World War Cyril and his family lived in Victoria. In 1916, Cyril and Clara moved to 501 Newport Avenue in Oak Bay, near Victoria.
501 Newport Avenue remained a private residence until 2019. In 2019, the owner of the land was preparing to build a new house on the property. Another family bought the old house and moved it to another location.
Cyril acted as the chief district intelligence officer for Victoria, and he was the assistant deputy provost marshal. At the same time he was trying to get himself admitted to the regular forces so that he could serve overseas.
In 1918 he signed his officer’s declaration paper for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He stated that his occupation was “estate agent.” In the spring of 1918, he left for France to join a tank corps.
Life After the War
After the war Cyril returned to Vancouver, where he resumed his real estate business.
In 1922 he built a house at 4588 Angus Drive in Vancouver.

About 1923 Cyril became a member of the advisory committee for the Provincial Party of British Columbia. This party was a temporary organization which General Alexander McRae and other Conservative Party dissidents used to fight the election of 1924. The party gathered substantial numbers of votes, but it was mostly unsuccessful in getting candidates elected to the provincial legislature. The party ceased to exist shortly after the election.
Cyril continued his real estate work through the 1920s and 1930s.
In May 1938, he published a long article in Maclean’s Magazine, in which he described his experiences as a member of the Barr Colony from 1903 to 1906.
Cyril died in Vancouver on December 17, 1938. He was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Clara died in Vancouver on August 18, 1954. She was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Burnaby.
Cyril and Clara had the following children.
Phyllis Aitken Tweedale
Phyllis Aitken Tweedale was born in Vancouver on October 11, 1907.
It appears that she never married.
During the Second World War she was a sergeant with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps.
In 1967 she was a stenographer for the British Columbia Research Council.
Phyllis was living at 1443 West 53rd Avenue in Vancouver in 1987.
She died in Lions Gate Hospital on January 3, 1997.
Cyril Dudley Aitken Tweedale
Cyril Dudley Aitken Tweedale (often called “Dudley”) was born in Vancouver on May 7, 1909.
On June 12, 1935, in Vancouver, Dudley married Lorna May Wickson. She was born on February 12, 1910, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her parents were Walter Wickson and Edna Minerva Reid.
During the Second World War, Dudley served as a tank commander in the armoured corps. He received the Military Cross for his actions during the Normandy invasion.
After the war, Dudley returned to British Columbia. He became the secretary-treasurer for Pioneer Gold Mines, and he was later an owner of the Wing Machinery Company in Vancouver.
After Dudley retired in 1965, he and Lorna moved to Galiano Island, one of the Gulf Islands in British Columbia.
Dudley died on October 14, 1971, on Galiano Island.
Lorna died in Vancouver on November 20, 1987.
Esme Josephine Tweedale
Esme Josephine Tweedale was born in Vancouver on June 9, 1912.
She went to the University of British Columbia, and she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1935.
On June 7, 1938, in Vancouver, Esme married John Lionel Clarke (often called “Lionel”), who was a salesman. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta about 1914 . His parents were John Jeffrey Lionel Clarke (1888-1972) and Ethel Earp (1891-1986).
During the Second World War, Lionel served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was killed in a plane accident on March 3, 1942.
For a time Esme worked as a saleswoman for Saba Brothers Ltd., which was a silk merchant and women’s wear store on Granville Street in Vancouver.
By 1963, Esme was married to Victor Zachanko, who was a mining engineer.
Esme died in North Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 28, 1981.
Baby girl Tweedale
On February 24, 1921, Clara gave birth to a still-born baby girl, who was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver on March 1, 1921.
Bernard Aitken Tweedale (brother of Cyril Aitken Tweedale)
Cyril had a brother named Bernard Aitken Tweedale, who was a writer and publisher. He was also active in social and political causes.
![Bernard Aitken Tweedale, detail from Vancouver City Archives - CVA 371-1109 - [Interior of Mr. Teasdale's office], http://searcharchives.vancouver.ca/index.php/interior-of-mr-teasdales-office;](https://westendvancouver.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bernard-aitken-tweedale-detail-from-vancouver-city-archives-cva-371-1109.jpg)
Bernard Aitken Tweedale was born in Salford district, Lancashire, England, on July 10, 1878.
In 1907, Bernard married Dorothy Talbot Warren. She was born in Hunslet, Yorkshire on April 16, 1887. Her parents were Dr. Edward Albert Warren (1856–1899) and Emily Amelia Palmer (1860–1940).

Bernard arrived in Vancouver in late 1912.
In 1913, Bernard and Eileen Mary Swepstone were teaching elocution and stage craft.
In 1916, Bernard obtained a divorce from Dorothy.
Dorothy did not re-marry. She died in Vancouver on April 23, 1952. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Bernard was interested in popular styles of dancing. Along with Eileen Swepstone, he appeared in a Vancouver publication on how to dance the tango.
Bernard and Eileen appeared in several musical and dramatic productions in Vancouver and New Westminster, including “The Belle of Burrard” in 1914 and “David Garrick” in 1915.
Eileen Swepstone married Charles West (also known as Veronine Vestoff) in New York in 1917. Her stage names and professional names included Miss Maizie Stone, Eileen West, and Sonia Serova. (See Shapes of American Ballet: Teachers and Training before Balanchine, by Jessica Zeller, chapter 6, Pragmatic Revisionists: Veronine Vestoff, Sonia Serova, and Louis H.

Veronine Vestoff died in June 1941.
Sonia Serova (Eileen Swepstone) died in 1943.
Bernard Tweedale: Later Life
Bernard advocated for the reform of liquor regulations in British Columbia. He was a member of the “People’s Moderation Party.”
Bernard was also interested in travelling, especially on the west coast of the United States.
“Back From Motor Trip. Aitken Tweedale, manager of the Tower Publishing Company, Vancouver, has just returned from six weeks motor trip through Washington, Oregon and California, made in a car driven by Mr. H. M. Kitchin. Mr. Tweedale had an interesting trip, in which there included occasional risks of flood, but has warm praise for the manner in which the road question is handled in California, particularly.” Vancouver Daily World, June 26, 1919, page 11, http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/64710429/.
By 1923, Bernard was living in Los Angeles, California, and he was working as a real estate broker.
In 1923, in Orange County, California, he married Naomi Joyce Westwood. She was born on June 25, 1899, in Hobart, Tasmania. Her parents were Charles Hutton Westwood and Florence Isabel Westbrook. (Joyce had been one of film-maker Mack Sennett’s “bathing beauties.” See “The Curious Story of Mack Sennett’s Bathing Beauties (12 Photos)”; http://oldphotoarchive.com/stories/the-curious-story-of-mack-sennetts-bathing-beauties-12-photos.)
Bernard and Joyce lived in California through the 1920s and early 1930s.
Bernard died in Los Angeles on September 2, 1933.
Joyce stayed in California. In 1940, she was living with her mother in Los Angeles.
Joyce died in Riverside, California, on December 26, 1975.
Bernard and Dorothy had a daughter.
Nancy Joyce Mackay
Nancy Joyce Brianne Tweedale was born in England on November 21, 1908.
After Bernard and Dorothy were divorced, it appears that Nancy went to live with Joseph and Amy Mackay. (Amy was born Amy Lilian Wood, and she was a sister of Clara Wood, who married Cyril Tweedale.) Joseph and Amy may have adopted Nancy.
Nancy did not marry. She died in Vancouver on March 14, 1968.

Military Cross: Capt. Cyril Dudley Aitken Tweedale, http://www.fortgarryhorse.ca/j1526/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=80&Itemid=95: “Capt Tweedale has shown constant energy, ability and personal bravery under fire since his first action on 9 Jun 44. On 9 Jun 44, he was a troop leader with the 6 Cdn Armd Regt (1H), and by his coolness, leadership and tactical ability, his troop destroyed three Panther tanks which were threatening the centre of the regiment; two of these were knocked out by his own tank. After this action, he was posted to his own unit, the 10 Cdn Armd Regt (FGH), and acted first as squadron rear link and later as Sqn 2IC in the defensive operations near ETERVILLE, BOURGUEBUS and VERRIERES on the 14 Jul , 27 Jul and 3 Aug respectively. He distinguished himself repeatedly in these actions by organizing OPs, assisting the supporting infantry and artillery and carrying out tank troop shoots, all of which required him to be repeatedly exposed to the most intense enemy artillery and mortar fire. His coolness under fire and his aggressiveness were an inspiration to his squadron during these difficult periods of defence. During the night advance on the 7/8 Aug, though suffering from an infection for which he was later evacuated, when he found his column was having difficulty getting forward in the dark, he dismounted, and with complete disregard for his own safety, and in the face of close enemy fire, he directed them forward from the ground. Later, when the squadron could proceed no further, in the absence of his squadron leader, he formed the tanks into a leaguer in the dark, despite persistent interference by enemy patrols. His display of personal courage, skill and energy have been outstanding in all operations and is worthy of the highest commendation. Awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 17 March 1945 and CARO/5466 dated 19 March 1945.”
