Dear Listers Being new to the list I had hesitated to ask for some help for copies of registrations, but after this last posting I thought I had better ask away. I have taken all the info off the BC archives site, and hope that I am not asking too much...but here goes MARRIAGES Groom Name: CHARLES JAMES PIPER Place New Westminster Reg. Number: 1904-09-118032 Bride Name: FLORENCE SHEPHERD BURNETT Date: 1904 3 19 (Yr/Mo/Day) Event: Marriage Microfilm #: B11382 (GSU # 1983975) Groom Name: CHARLES G G ANDERSON Place Vancouver Reg. Number: 1915-09-079979 Bride Name: MINNIE PIPERr Date: 1915 3 27 (Yr/Mo/Day) Event: Marriage Microfilm #: B11378 (GSU # 1983706) DEATHS Name: CHARLES T WOOD PIPER Place Vancouver Reg. Number: 1924-09-332423 Date: 1924 3 14 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 84 Event: Death Microfilm #: B13124 (GSU # 1927301) Name: SARAH ELIZABETH PIPER Place Vancouver Reg. Number: 1924-09-332435 Date: 1924 4 1 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 77 Event: Death Microfilm #: B13124 (GSU # 1927301) Name: FLORENCE SHEPHERD PIPER Place Vancouver Reg. Number: 1926-09-366627 Date: 1926 5 3 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 60 Event: Death Microfilm #: B13128 (GSU # 1927305) Name: Charles Piper Place Sidney Reg. Number: 1953-09-007623 Date: 1953 7 28 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 84 Event: Death Microfilm #: B13216 (GSU # 2032875) Charles J and Florence Piper had a little girl in, I think, March, 1905...will this mean I have to wait until the end of 1905 or will the document become available in March 2005? Couldn't find a 'suitable' Minnie (Piper) Anderson death - Her birth date is: July 12, 1872 To find out more about my adventurous ancestors who emigrated from Plymouth, Devon in 1890/91 would be absolutely wonderful. Can I ask one more question: What route might they have taken from Plymouth to get to Victoria and how long would it have taken them? I have no idea of how to set about finding it, as most records I have found so far are either before or after their journey.
