Hi Graham, Hopefully you found a volunteer to obtain the Death Registration for you - rather than ordering same. 1.R.R. does mean Rural Route. 2.Perhaps re posting - with the name of the Deceased - as well - the Name of the Grocery store if known - would help others determine whether the store still stands. 3.Mapquest - showing the possible location on Hillcrest road. http://www.mytelus.com/maps/map.do?city=GIBSONS&province=BC&postal=&lat=49.408589&long=-123.507373&scale=24000&poilat=49.408589&poilong=-123.507373&street=[662-684]%20HILLCREST%20RD Location of Gibsons B.C.

Hi Ellen, A lesson learned - loaned a camera out - and now - nothing works. There are Volunteers at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness site: Offer Cemetery Photo's. http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm *Just a note: At the best of times - the cemetery grounds are very wet after a rain, making walking on the grounds very difficult. if not impossible in some areas. After the rain that we have had - I would suspect that much of the area at both cemeteries - would not be accessible for a little while.

Hello List, I've just joined this list in hope that someone may be able to help me find my Father's step-brother and his wife, who was also my Grandmother's sister. Hope you understand that. They emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's. I am under the impression from family that they went to live in Victoria. They are Ruth Finney Johnson Needham nee Twigg and Albert Henry Needham. On their Marriage Certificate which took place in England in January 1900 Ruth is age 23 and Albert is age 22. I think the date they left England was between February 1900 and 1907 because I think they had a daughter born around 1907. I'm sorry I don't have more information but any help would be appreciated. Regards Ellen Nottingham England.

This year has been proclaimed as "2005: The Year of the Veteran" This should be a great reason to assist Senator Lorna Milne in the Senate and then The Hon. Don Boudria in the House of Commons. PLEASE download petitions from http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/index.htm Addresses are also at this site -- please enclose Page 1!! As of today, our postage has increased by 1¢ - total 50¢ for each letter when sending petitions to Gordon or myself. One does not need to use large envelopes -- these cost more, but fold the petitions in regular size envelopes -- I have my old way of flattening these -- do not worry!! Let's increase the above number before January 30th -- when I deliver petitions to Senator Lorna Milne -- I also have some to forward to Gordon Watts -- we exchange!! I am very pleased many genealogy societies are among the number, also names were very familiar on petitions from Liverpool, and Bridgewater, Nova Scotia --- keep them coming, please!!

Robert I monitor this list for other names but when I saw JARDINE it caught my eye. I have a Hugh JARDINE (1897-1986) from New Brunswick who married a Francis Pollock and lived in West Branch, MI where he was a doctor. I was wondering if this may be a connection to your Jardines? His parents were Hugh Jardine and Maude Dohesty. Jon H

A short while ago someone on this list enquired about a former funeral home in Vancouver called Center & Hanna. If there was a reply, I did not see it. Can anyone tell me if there is a funeral home in existence today that may have taken over Center & Hanna's business? Or does anyone know if Centre & Hanna's records are archived anywhere? I'm looking for records from 1927. Adele

Hello - I am hoping someone in the Lower mainland might have some more information regarding the Savoy, Hennessy and Jardine families. The information below provides some information on these families' connections to the canning industry of the pacific coast - I wonder if any readers with ties to this industry can shed any more light?! Thanks! Robert Jardine Hello Robert, No, I would'nt mind at all if you reposted any or all of this Hennessy information. I feel that it should all be in the public domain. -Cheers, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Jardine <mailto:[email protected]> To: 'MacCallum' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 1:56 PM Subject: RE: [T-M] New Brunswick connections to New Westminster Ken - thanks for you detailed reply!

Born in Napan in 1833, he married Elizabeth Hennessy (although I haven't pinned down the date), then the family lived in Cambridge, Mass., where my g-grandfather, William James Jardine, was born in 1881.

The short answer to it is, yes, David Savoy Hennessy was related to your gr-gr-grandmother. He was, in fact, her older brother. Not only that, but David was not the only one of Elizabeth's siblings to settle on the Lower Mainland. Her eldest brother, Alexander Morrison Hennessy also settled in New Westminster after spending some time in Massachusetts just as Elizabeth had done, and one of her younger brothers, James Wasson Hennessy died in New Westminster on March 18, 1884. Alexander was a shoemaker, David was a fisherman/canneryman, and James was a hotel keeper. Perhaps you'd be interested in seeing what other information I've found out about your gr-gr-gr-uncles ? Alexander Morrison Hennessy was born in Burnt Church, New Brunswick on April 16, 1834, the first child of William Hennessy & Elizabeth Savoy. His wife's name was Elizabeth Cochrane, who was born in 1837 in New Brunswick. Their only child was named Agnes Ann Hennessy, and she was born on March 2, 1863 in Chatham, New Brunswick. According to the 1880 census of the United States, they were living in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts where Alexander made his living as a shoemaker, as his father had done. By 1890 they were living in New Westminster. Alexander died in New Westminster on May 6, 1902, and his wife Elizabeth died in New Westminster on August 13, 1894. Their daughter Agnes Ann married a Scotsman named James R Fortune, and had five children, James Alexander, Euphemia Orr, Beatrice May, William David, & Dorothy J Victoria. The three youngest children were born in New Westminster, the two eldest in the USA. Agnes Ann Hennessy-Fortune died in Silver Valley, British Columbia on August 24, 1933. David Savoy Hennessy was born in Burnt Church, New Brunswick on November 25, 1838, the fourth child of William Hennessy & Elizabeth Savoy. David was married twice, first to Subina Elizabeth Bennett who was born in Huron county, Ontario on May 11, 1857, and secondly to Sarah Allen Vance who was born in Perth county, Ontario on September 30, 1867. There were five children born to each marriage, all ten of them being born in New Westminster, British Columbia. The children of the first marriage were : -Sarah Elizabeth(Oct 10 1877) married James A Nelson -James Frederick(Feb 4 1879) -Charles Leslie(Jul 6 1880) married Margaret J Wyman -William David(Jan 8 1884) married Mary E Read -Alexander Ewen(Nov 9 1887) married Ada B Harold (! Robert, do you notice that this fifth child seems to have been named after David S Hennessy's partner in the cannery business !!!). David's first wife Subina died in New Westminster on December 9, 1888. The children of the second marriage were : -James Savoy(Oct 13 1892) married Elizabeth C Huff -Sabina Vance(Oct 13 1893) married Roy A Green -Margaret Lillian(Jul 13 1895) -David Sederquist(Dec 8 1897) married Maude A Abbott -Roy Mitchell Torrance(Nov 22 1900) mar Ellen A Connolly David Savoy Hennessy died in Surrey, British Columbia on January 8, 1924. His second wife Sarah died in New Westminster on October 13, 1929. James Wasson Hennessy was born in Burnt Church, New Brunswick in 1848. He was the ninth child of William Hennessy & Elizabeth Savoy. He married Sarah Ann Connor on March 18, 1881 in New Westminster, British Columbia. He died of consumption on Mar 18, 1884 in New Westminster. There are no known children of this marriage. So, Robert, as you can see, your gr-gr-grandmother did not migrate out to the west coast all by herself. The New Westminster Hennessys were among the pioneers of British Columbia. -Cheers, Ken MacCallum... ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Jardine <mailto:[email protected]> To: Tabusintac List <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 8:51 PM Subject: [T-M] New Brunswick connections to New Westminster Hi Folks!

Hello, I am new to this list and I would like to try and trace any descendants of RUSSELLS who emigrated to Vancouver Island around the late 1920's early 1930's. The person I am looking for was my mother's brother. I am not sure, but I believe his name was George RUSSELL. The only things I have to go on are, the RUSSELL family came from FAULDHOUSE in WEST LOTHIAN in SCOTLAND and both he and his son/s were lumberjacks in CANADA. I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping there may be someone out there who may have some information on this family. Bill COOK in Melnourne, Australia

Maureen, You did not state what unit William was assigned to so can't say for sure but it is a good bet that his unit was in England at some point. Most if not all the units from Canada sailed from here (most from Halifax Nova Scotia) to England and many of the men underwent some training in England before heading off to their assignments. At the end of their service time most were back in England for at least a few days before they were to sail back to Canada. You can obtain a copy of his full WW1 Service Record from the Canada Archives. It will include his pay & medical records, address info here as well as were he went and when. If you fill in the e-mail form at: http://www.genealogy.gc.ca/12/1201_e.html They will tell you if they can provide the records and the cost of providing them - depends on the number of pages. I obtained my grandfathers and the cost was not great. Good Luck. Carol ----------------------------------------- I am trying to find out if Williams Unit ever came to England and what happened to William after this time. I believe he survived the war and had a family, if he married in Canada how would I go about tracing the certificate. I know I have asked lots of questions and would be would be grateful for any answers Thanks in advance Maureen ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Hi Mary, I checked in the CAN-BC Obits & unfortunately the obituary isn't there but since it was in both the Province & the Sun, it won't be too hard to find. I hope someone on the list who lives in the city will volunteer to get it as it may help you find a more specific area. If not, see if there's someone on RAOGK who will look it up for you. Good luck.

Hello I am new to the list and trying to find information on my great Uncle. His name was William Barlow and I have just discovered his Attestation Papers signed in September 1814. William was born in Bolton Lancs in 1884 and was last seen in the 1901 census there. Some time after that he left for Canada where he worked as a water inspector. He is married to Robina. His address looks like Hamiford Street Vancouver BC. There is a question on the Attestation paper that reads have you ever been in any Military Force and he answers yes, five and a half years in L.N.L Reg. Would anyone know if that would be the Loyal North Lancs back in Lancashire? William entered the number 3 Field Ambulance with the number 33250 as a st. Sgt. I am trying to find out if Williams Unit ever came to England and what happened to William after this time. I believe he survived the war and had a family, if he married in Canada how would I go about tracing the certificate. I know I have asked lots of questions and would be would be grateful for any answers Thanks in advance Maureen

Hi folks, My search for my KERRs in the Vancouver area just got more urgent, at least in my mind, as I found another death today for 1 of them! I'm thinking that if I don't find someone soon, there'll be no one left to contact. Today, on a rootsweb search, on the Obituary Daily Times, I found the death of Peter Watt KERR, who died abt. the 14th of August, 2001, likely around the Vancouver area. He was 85 years old, so born around 1916. So that's 2 of the 5 children of Annie K. JOHNSTON & Peter KERR gone (that I know of), which is understandable given their advancing years (Annie & Peter married in 1913, I have discovered.) I have e-mailed funeral homes, the Legion, a school board, a cemetery & even a real estate company in hopes of finding a way to contact a living KERR, with no reply. Maybe I'll have to write every similarly named KERR on Canada411, but I'm hoping to narrow the search down first. What would you do? Thanks a million. Mary

Hi Maureen Welcome to the list. If you go to http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca:9000/sn-5782BB4/gbsearch you can search for B.C. BMD records on-line. At the site you will see what years are available. I found the following which MAY be your William BARLOW. You can ask a volunteer at RAOGK: http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm to get copies of these Registrations for you, usually free or perhaps a photocopying fee. If no luck there try Don Crawfords site at : http://members.shaw.ca/copies/ where for $4.00 CDN or £3.00 GBP he will get it for you as well. I have no interest in Mr. Crawfords business except as a happy customer. The Death registrations usually have a lot of info on them depending on what the informant knew and usually the name of the Funeral Home and where they are buried. You could also try the B.C. Cemetery Finding Aid at http://www.islandnet.com/cgi-bin/ms2/rsd/search Marriage: Groom Name: William Barlow Place Vancouver Reg.

Hello: I would like to locate the burial location of the following two people: Olive Anne (Annie) WOODMAN, died 16 Jan. 1984 Marguerite Ruth WOODMAN, died 13 Jan. 1988 I'm wondering if someone might have access to the transcripts for the cemeteries in Kamloops. I have checked the B.C. Finding Aid, and they do not show up, but I have been advised that Olive died in Kamloops. Thank you. - Joy in Ontario, Canada
