Good Morning Ines, I searched the HendersonDirectories for the Bakery - Not on Broardway - but on Heather Street - just west of Broadway -in the direction of VGH. It appears that the name of the bakery was. J. FERGUSON , Bakery - 2545 Heather Street, Vancouver - J. Ferguson, Baker. Checked up to 1940 - and the bakery was still there. James C. FERGUSON - and Alice B. FERGUSON - lived at the rear of 2547 Heather Street, Vancouver B.C. Heather Hall - was at 2547 Heather Street. I am going to check further - My memory might be playing games with me, but I believe that the Ferguson Bakery was quite well known, Don't know if they re located - I might be thinking along the wrong track - will check this one out. in later Directories. In the Obituary for Rosannah Boxall - in 1974 - it mentions that she is survived by nephew George Campbell and wife Grizel and sons, as well as nephew and niece Ernest Gerguson- and Margaret Spence - as well as other cousins. Do you know any of these family members - if so,contacting them may be helpful . They may know if and when James and Alice may have passed away. Edith passed away in 1958 - her son Ernest Boxall - Vancouver, may have information . There are a number of Boxalls listed in the white pages - including an Ernest. I am going to take a look at the following marriage.will send it out to you. It will give me an idea of the ages - which will help find the death registrations. There is an Alice Ferguson who passed away - age 47 in 1948 . No Alice B's come up. Of course - she could have passed away after 1981.
