Hello I have just joined the list but not sure whether I'm on the right one. I am looking for Harry NEWLOVE who emigrated from Yorkshire, England in 1906 and arrived in the States. Harry moved around quite a before finally settling in Vancouver and then Chilliwack in 1912 and found employment laying sidewalks. Harry fought in the Canadian Air Force and eventually returned to Chilliwack and became co-owner of a mine. I am looking for information on Harry and his family and would be grateful for any help or a pointer in the right direction where I could find the information. I live in the UK so do not know what resources are available to me. I am particularly interested in getting the address of the public library where records for Chilliwack are held. If I am on the wrong list I would be grateful is someone could tell me which list would be more appropriate. Many thanks Elaine Oxford, UK *********** elainecollier@aol.com Researching: Newbound: London, Surrey, Cambridge Spinner: London, Kent, Illinois USA Howell: London, Hampshire Roberts: London, Surrey .

Hello, Elaine. You may wish to search the National Archives of Canada site for World War I Canadian Expeditionary Forces records: http://www.archives.ca/02/02010602_e.html I found a Harry Newlove there - you can order a hard-copy of his records from the National Archives if you think he might be "your" Harry. I also found a Harry Newlove on the BC Vital Statistics Death Index: http://www2.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/www2vsd Name: HARRY NEWLOVE Event Date: 1958 11 27 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 72 Gender: Male Event Place: VANCOUVER Reg. Number: 1958-09-013138 B.C. Archives Microfilm Number: B13239 GSU Microfilm Number: 2033180 Hope this helps. I'm sure other list members will have more to say about BC-specific resources. --Doug Doug Porteous Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada -----Original Message----- From: ElaineCollier@aol.com [mailto:ElaineCollier@aol.com] Sent: June 17, 2001 3:45 PM To: CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-BC] Newlove Hello I have just joined the list but not sure whether I'm on the right one.

Hi Elaine, I'd say you're definitely in the right place! Welcome! :-) I see that Doug has pointed you to a couple of good starting places. If you want a copy of Harry's death registration, someone may already have written to offer this, but if not, I'll be glad to get it for you- just let me know- they are one of the best bargains in the world- lots of information and a miniscule cost.
