I see you didn't indicate your Agnes' surnames. Did you try doing a search for Agnes as a "partial match" for the given name and leaving the last name blank? You can put in a month and year, too. There were 4 Agnes ladies who d. in Nov 1916. Three had middle names, so did not come up when just putting in Agnes just as an exact match for the given name.

Hi Another thing I noticed the other day is that there are a large number of deaths where the wife has only the first name Widow! I happened to be searching for a name and put in the partial name "wid". A rather sad way for these women to be listed. There are 8 of them, I see, as I search the index for them. http://www2.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/www2vsd Just to get them into the list's archives and in case they may solve a mystery for someone - not Joanne because the earliest is 1919- I'll list them here: 1 Name: WIDOW DOTMA Event Date: 1919 1 30 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 60 Gender: Female Event Place: MUDDY RIVER Reg.
