I have information that they were both born in Scotland but have no marriage information. I would appreciate any assistance in this matter. Deacon was listed as a married name of Aneta Smith Burgess and, in )ct of 1939 I ws listed as the third child alive by this mother..

I was only thinking of, if people were looking for relatives here in Vancouver or anywhere in BC as I have access to the death,marriage,and birth records. I have gone thru a good 50% of the death records from the start to the early 1940's,so if you had someone die here in BC, I will either find it or look it up for you. Mike. PS. There was a Mary Morisseau in the Whitford connection. I think she married a Philip Whitford in Fairford, Manitoba.

Surnames: Chamberlain, Boivin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mNC.2ACE/1895 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on the Chamberlain family in Manitoba. John Chamberlain was born in St.Nortbert, Manitoba in the late 1880s. He lived in Winnipeg for a awhile and very likely got married to an Ann Boivin there. He had at least two children before moving to BC. He worked on the BC Electric Railway as a car repairman until his retirement in 1944. Gavin Hainsworth December 25, 2002

Hi All I am new to the list, and am looking for anyone who may have information on my G Grandfather (Daneil Johnston's) sibblings. I actually know very little about the family, but the following is what I do know. If you think you may be able to help I would love to hear from you. (Brother) Angus Johnston was said to be living in Winnipeg in 1932. I know not wether he had a family, but I did hear from someone that his wife's name may have been Rachael, or Rebecca? (Sister) Annie Webb was also said to be living in Winnipeg in 1932. I believe, but am not sure that her husbands name may have been John Webb? There is much confusion with this family. My G Grandfather's surname was alway's known to be Johnston, but in my research I have found alot of conflicting information, and it looks like his name was something other than Johnston. (Maybe McPherson? Crone? or possibly even something else) Maybe there is someone on the list who thinks that they too have a connection to this family, and maybe they have information that will help to sort this mess out. If you do I would very much appreciate any help. Maybe Daniel was adopted? Maybe he changed his name at some point? I realize that I am kind of looking for miracles at this point, but I have to try something. Who know's I might just find it. Cindy

I do remember some of that poem: "And Queen Victoria in her Chair With snow upon her snowy hair And snow upon her feet." I think it's called "In Winnipeg at Christmas". But I don't know who wrote it. It refers, of course, to the statue on the grounds of the legislative building. We always saw it from the Park Line Streetcar going to or from the Eatons' Parade. I think I just gave away my age! Oh, well. Happy reminiscences. Bettymae, now in sunny (sometimes) California.

I, too, remember that poem from my elementary school days but don't know the author. Thanks for the memories, Bettymae. FYI - the Eaton's store on Portage Ave., is being demolished to make way for a hockey arena.
