Biographical history

Robert James Cartmell was born on September 2, 1900 in Kirkham, Lancashire, England to Alban Cartmell and Dorthy Cartmell (née Danson). Robert had four siblings Mary Ann Cartmell, Nicholas Cartmell, Bernard Alban Cartmell, and Winifred Teresa Cartmell.
In 1923 Robert’s family moved to Canada. His father, Alban, was a painter and picked Edmonton because he liked to paint snow. In 1939, Robert married his wife Margaret MacDonald. Together Robert and Margaret had four children, Robert Cartmell, Peggy Cartmell, Jim Cartmell, and Gerry Cartmell. Robert died on September 3, 1988 at the age of 88 in Edmonton, Alberta.
