The Children of William James Uttley and Katherine Stinson

Robert John Uttley was the first of eight children of William James Uttley and Katherine Stinson. He was born March 1, 1909 in Copper Cliff. Robert married Yvonne Menard and they had one child, a daughter named Gail. The family lived in Woodstock and Robert died nearby in Norwich on January 26, 1987.

Death

From the Sudbury Star we read the obituary of Robert John Uttley:

UTTLEY -- At his residence on Monday, January 26, 1987, Robert J. Uttley of the Norvilla Nursing Home, Norwich in his 78th year. Dear Father of Mrs. Kenneth (Gail) Evans of Woodstock. Dear grandfather of David and Ryan. Dear brother of Mrs. Hazel Bodson, Gordon and Nathan all of the Sudbury area. He was predeceased by 6 brothers and a sister. Friends will be received at the R.D. Longworth Funeral Home, 134 Riddell St., Woodstock on Tuesday, 7-9 p.m. where the complete funeral service will be held on Wednesday at 4 p.m. with Reverend John Riddle officiating. Interment later in the Anglican Cemetery Woodstock.

Kathleen Elizabeth Uttley was born on December 8, 1911 in Copper Cliff. She was the second child and eldest daughter of William James Uttley and Katherine Stinson.

Kathleen married or lived common law with a man from the Larder Lake area and had a son Alvin John, known as Buddy, in 1929. From telegrams addressed to "Mrs Barney Circka", Larder Lake in 1936 and to "Mrs K. Cerka", Christy Street, Toronto in 1943, Buddy's father was Barney Cerka. Nothing further is known about Barney, but we do have pictures that are certainly him.

The son died in 1935 at age six and is buried in Park Lawn Cemetery, Sudbury. In 1942 Kathleen wrote on the back of a picture of the headstone that this was her "oldest" which implies that she had other children.

This is presumed to be a picture of Alvin with his father. The unidentified locket photo came from Kathleen's jewellery box. Alvin John Milton (Buddy) Uttley -- 1929-1935

Barney Cerka

Kathleen later married Ralph H (Ted) Tucker and we know of no children from the marriage. Kathleen died on June 24, 1976 in Fesserton. She and her husband are buried in the Waubaushene Union Cemetery which is near Fesserton.
