So it sounds like you are trying to find his sons. Are they still living? Do you have any further details? When they were born, names, number of sons, etc.

Here's some clues that may help you track down his sons. Here's a link to his death certificate:

 http://search-collections.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Image/Genealogy/65188b93-21da-4e04-81c7-153e2071a4d9

This was found on the BC Archives site. You can see from that where he lived, Smith Rd. I did not find one for his wife, Inez.

Do you think any of their sons were born before 1921? If so, you could search the 1921 census. https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1921/Pages/search.aspx

If not, there may be old city directories that might have more info. The Nanaimo library might have these.

Hope that helps!

Ok, obviously the 1921 census is too early to help! But... I did find this:

https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1921/Pages/item.aspx?itemid=4848130

A match for Inez?! Perhaps.
Almost forgot, BC directories are available here:

https://bccd.vpl.ca/

Let me know if you need help navigating these.
