Message Board Post:
Glenona McKellar, daughter of Grace McKellar and Glen Donald McKellar, married Linley
Chamberlin. At one point he was a HVAC mechanic living in Castro Valley or San Leandro,
CA. (at one point one of the Chamberlin men married and divorced his wife about three
times, that guy was the one who died in Walnut Creek so the HVAC guy named Linley who was
father of Alan Chamberlin and Grace's ex-husband is what I match up.
After Glenona divorced Chamberlin she married Joseph Rodrigues (Portugeuse surname). He
was Catholic, and both of them are either buried or interred at the Chapel of the Chimes
on Mission Blvd. in Hayward. (not the one in Oakland). Grace might be in there too. They
won't tell me a thing as to the Hayward place and so I have to see the Oakland people
in person and beg sometime in the future for info, which they are unlikely to share, I
suppose. While I was trying to find Glenona these last 15 years or so she died just a
couple of years ago.The old residence addresses I have for Grace, Linley "Lin",
Glenona and Joseph are all Alameda County addresses. Oakland, Alameda, San Lorenzo, and
San Leandro and Castro Valley----all are places in Alameda County.
She married the Linley Chamberlain and their son was the Alan you wrote about who was the
one I was asking about. I dug up a lot of reverse order stuff from Washington State
backwards on Chamberlin..so.. I just can't find evidence of the son Alan as to recent
address, military service, death, etc. He is probably alive somewhere. I was hoping he
would have some photos to share of his late mother so that I can compare with ones in the
proverbial shoebox or old 8mm films taken 1932-1941. I know I have Glenn Mack McKellar on
film the first son of Grace. I just am not sure who the women are. Film is now very old
and brittle and I can't really see it anymore so have to hold off till I can perhaps
pay for a conversion to digital image media like DVD. The Alameda County records are a
disaster in person. Glenona McKellar married Chamberlin the HVAC guy, then Mr Joseph
Rodrigues. She and Joseph lived San Leandro area of CA. With Joseph Rodrigues they had a
son named Dave or Dav!
id and I can't find him either. Both, Joseph and Glenona's obit mentions Alan
Chamberlin. If Alan Chamberlin was born in 1948-9 then a rough guess on birth year for a
Dave Rodrigues would be 1964. But, then, there are way too many people in Alameda County
named surname Rodrigues to figure it out by guesses without a fragment of factual
evidence to use.
