Star, If you go to Automated Genealogy at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/index.html you can look for him yourself. Granted the whole Census has not been transcribed to this site yet, but it's worth a shot to look. And being able to search by surname makes it so much easier than trolling through reames of images. Cheers, Bridget in B.C.

Thank You Bridget. I searched all of the Ks on this site. They haven't been added yet. Thanks for your suggestion. Star

Star: Star: It might be hard to find a volunteer to do a census search, as that takes longer than the usual requests for death registrations and obituaries, but you can probably get the one or two microfilm reels you need sent to you (Mount Vernon?) by interlibrary loan from one of the British Columbia libraries. I'm told they will send nearly anywhere in the world. The name, just "L.V." I'm wondering if that was the full name? Yesterday I came across a case where there wasn't a name, just a letter. I found a death registration showing a middle initial W., and a notation that it was NOT the initial of another name, it was just a W. If you're looking for more information on the life of the Kenney family during their time in British Columbia, you could try the tax records at BC Archives. That way you might be able to figure out what year they arrived, and what year they left. I'm assuming they returned to the USA, as there are no death records here for L.V., Lois, or George Cole Kenney. Have you seen ALL the applicable BC City Directories to figure out the start date and end date of residence? Those films also should be available on interlibrary loan. And depending on what they did for a living while in the province, you never know, their names could have appeared in the Sessional Papers of the BC Govt., even if they were not government employees. Everyone with pioneering ancestors should have a look in those Sessional Papers. I've just been finding things like ranchers' names listed in some government departments' expenditures, for services like supplying oats to government workers coming through their district to build bridges. Fascinating stuff! They didn't depend on Shell Oil, and Holiday Inns in 1901! These are available at BC Archives, and possibly at some universities, in which case they could be borrowed on interlibrary loan.
