Vancouver Sketch Club


Mrs. M.M. Pollok had work in the 1912 Annual Exhibition of the B.C. Society of Fine Arts.

She showed work with the Vancouver Sketch Club from 1917 to 1920.

The 1917 City Directory lists a Mrs. M. Pollock living at 3916 Inverness, as well as Gerald Lindsay Hew Pollock, clerk, on active service. There was no Directory listing that year for the name Pollok. His CEF records lists her as his wife, but there is no second initial "M" noted. The 1918 Directory lists Gerald as Pollok, with no "c" ... in other words, no further identification has been made as to the correct form of name, or other vital statistics.
