History
John Forsythe (d. 1905) and Lizzie (nee Denham, d. 1912) Chandler moved to Victoria in 1878 and settled in the Colquitz neighbourhood of Saanich on Wellington Road (now Hastings Street) near Interurban Road and North Road. John was an accountant for the Hudson's Bay Company and Lizzie was a teacher at Cedar Hill and Central Schools. They had three children, Earle (1883-), Roy Dunsterville (1885-1980) who married Marguarite Winnifred Brooke Bennett (1898-1975), and Rena (1889-) who married George Bryson Patenaude in 1912. Before the war, Roy and Earle had a successful real estate business.
During World War I, Roy served in the Army overseas for 5 years. After the war, Roy and Marguerite had 3 children: Peter (b. 1924), Louise (b. 1927), and Daisy (b. 1932). The familiy initially lived on Wilkinson Road, Victoria in the home built by Roy's parents in 1890. Roy worked as a foreman at Layritz nursery for a time, but due to the traumas he experienced during the war, Roy suffered from PTSD. This prompted the family to move to a farm in the Comox Valley to escape the stresses of city life. By the end of 1941 the family moved to View Royal, settling at 19 Eaton Avenue.
