They had 5 children:

Dorothy Evelyn Brakebill b: 03 May 1929, d: 01 Jul 2008
m: 10 Jun 1950 to Owen Glennie Barnes

Sidney and Dorothy both went by their middle names, and I never heard their first names used except on legal docs.
Elizabeth was my maternal grandmother.

I don't know what year that Edward and Hazel were married.  I'm attaching a newspaper clipping that you might enjoy regarding this.

Elizabeth and Lester Bivins had 2 kids:  Donald and Joan (my mom).

Robert didn't have kids and died young.  His wife remarried sometime later.

Edward had one daughter: Linda.

Evelyn and Owen had 1 child: Becky.

Edward and Robert were both in WWII, as was Lester Bivens (and his brother).
