I'm very interested in this topic. I lived in Churchill for eleven years. The community of Churchill today is located on the east side of the Churchill River. In 1813, the settlement was on the west side, at and/or adjacent to Fort Prince of Wales. I don't recall ever seeing any cemetery on the west side, although logic would say that there is at least one. Since there's no bridge or ferry across the river, it isn't common for residents to go across. In summer, one uses a small boat, and in winter, one uses a dog-sled. In most instances, this crossing is only done by tourists and guides wishing to visit the old Fort, and they seldom stray any distance from that point. I have visited the rock inscribed by Samuel Hearne, which is really the only other destination of great interest. As far as records of the passengers on the Prince of Wales, if it isn't listed by ISTG, or on one of the Red River Settlement sites, I think the best bet for finding it is at the Hudson's Bay Company archives at Hudson's Bay House in Winnipeg. These archives may have been transferred to (or be held in duplicate at) Manitoba Provincial Archives on Vaughan Street in Winnipeg. I suggest making a call or writing to the Provincial Archivist, and/or to Hudson's Bay House. Although "The Bay" was sold to the Northwest Company about ten years ago, I think that H.B. House still exists (it has been about 15 years since I lived in Winnipeg, so I'm not sure).
