See https://www.stgeorges.bc.ca/list-detail?pk=64247, relating to John Frederick HARKER (14 VI 1896 - 14 VIII 1975), the second husband (married 20 IX 1930) of Marianita Hilda ROLLER (12 XI 1898 - 9 IV 1985). It says there that he had a son, Christopher, whom I  would surmise to be the brother (of the half blood) mentioned in the late Mr Parker-Jervis's obituary.
