Hello list, How would I go about finding out what year my AXFORD ancestors were in business. This is all the info I have and am trying to determine what year they emmigrated from England. I know they operated a store (I'm assuming a grocery/general store) - on Robson St. in Vancouver and one in (Ruskin?). These were the first stores they operated and it would have been after 1904 (they are in a family photo in England, dated 1904). They (Harold AXFORD and Edward John Frederick AXFORD) later operated a store in Port Moody. EJF AXFORD's attestation papers are dated for 1917, so he immigrated to Canada sometime bet 1904 -1917. After the war EJF owned and operated the Royal Oak grocery store in Burnaby. I do have info on this store. So I guess I'm looking for some sort of business directory??. Thanx for your time.........debi
