Chris, You don't mention if you have done any census work on this family. The 1881 Vancouver Island census is online at http://web.mala.bc.ca/dunae/census/ The engine supports wildcard * searches. I'll let you have the fun of finding the details, but a quick look shows Paul and Eliza FRANK and 2 children. There is also a John REID, age 49, and family. Hope this is helpful. Jennifer
