Married to Johanna Einarsdotter July 11, 1935 in Vancouver. (Yes, she was 19 years his senior)
After the death of his mother Emily, his father sent him to be raised by his mother's cousin, Theodora Marion.
Excerpt from Ain't It Hell, Bill Peyto's Mountain Journal, by E. J. Hart:
Bill's relationship with his son also never seems to have developed to the extent that he had hoped, probably for similar reasons of lack of opportunity. Robert Peyto completed his schooling in Armstrong, B.C. and after graduation went to Vancouver to find work. He first joined the army and later the navy, in which he served during the Second World War, and like his father was wounded in the leg. Eventually he went to work at a dockyard in Esquimalt and in 1966 retired to Shawnigan Lake, B.C. After Bill's retirement in 1936, he seems to have gone to the coast a few times to visit his son and Robert also came to Banff occasionally.
