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. Searching the Provincial Archive - Vital Events Index - for William Yeats - prior to 1955 - shows 0 results. http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-27F8A4F/gbsearch/Births,Marriages,Deaths Note the spelling of the surname. **Just checked - there is a Death of : Name: William Andrew Yeates Event Date: 1955 8 18 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 77 Gender: male Event Place: Vancouver Reg.
