John - I did not get in on the beginning of this thread but there are several William Lairds listed as having died in Vancouver. Which one are you interested in? I could do a lookup at the Vancouver Public Library but it might be a week or so before I go again. I notice you live in Victoria. Did you know you could look these up at the Victoria Public Library? Let me know if you want me to do a lookup and also do you want a printed copy. Price is forty cents per copy plus postage. Eva, Vancouver B.C.
