Besides England (and I don't know what records they would have there), the Cdn headquarters for the Hudson's Bay was (is?) in Winnipeg. Search for the Hudson's Bay Archives in Winnipeg and I think you'll soon see what I mean. If you ancestor was in Canada, the odds are that the records are in Winnipeg. And my guess (remember that's a guess) is that the records you received from HBC were from Wpg too. Good luck. If you can't find the web page, get back to me and I'll try to look for it.

Hello, Iam doing some searches on family whom worked for the Hudson Bay Company. Ok, So I just receieved some articles from a museam in Oregon, USA. saying that the information was taken from the HBC. IN ENGLAND?? Does this mean that any information for HBC.in the 1800's is in England? If so does anyone have a web site for it ? Thank You , Sincerely, Diane Hallborg Williams Lake , B.C. CA

Okay Reita - you lucky one you! >Hi! I've been checking out the surnames as you posted them and have one >more request. I would appreciate anything on the surname Telford. >Thanks again >Reita D. McLeod Telford One of the popular members of the Dominion government service is Mr. D. McLeod Telford, customs appraiser at Winnipeg. He is a native of Caithness, Scotland, and was born in Wick, November 12, 1845. He was educated in Thurso and in 1867 came to Canada, locating in London, Ontario. For fourteen years he followed mercantile pursuits in that part of Canada, until 1881, when he came to Winnipeg. Ten years prior to this, however, he had intended coming to Manitoba, and had already started, but being shipwrecked on Lake Superior changed his plans and came at that time no further than Port Arthur, returning to take up business on his own account in Strathroy, county Middlesex. On arriving at Winnipeg in May, 1881, he took up work in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway and was supply agent at Brandon on construction. Removing to Winnipeg late in fall of same year, he was appointed cashier, and a few years later local treasurer. He was transferred to Montreal in 1899, but not being satisfied with eastern Canada he was transferred back to Winnipeg in 1891, where he took up other work with the Canadian Pacific Railway, thus continuing until he resigned to take the general agency of an insurance company. In 1898 he entered the customs service and was appointed appraiser in 1901. Mr. Telford married Miss Margaret Stephen at Hamilton, Ontario, in 1872. They have five children: Winifred, Catherine, Florence, George and Alice, the second, Catherine is the wife of Mr. E. A. James, general manager for the Canadian Northern Railway of this city. In fraternal relations Mr. Telford is a member of the Masonic order, being a past president of St. Andrew's Society--at present bard of the society. He has been charged with being a Scottish humorist, and in this connection has frequently entertained the citizens of Winnipeg in the olden time, more especially on the appearance of Ian McLaren's "Bonnie Brier Bush." He was so successful in his delineations of the characters of Mr. Watson's creation that after a few introductory readings he was induced to publicly announce himself as a Scottish reader, and as such he occupied platforms acceptably in many parts of Manitoba as well as Dakota and Minnesota, thrice in Minneapolis and twice in St. Paul, after which he took up the permanent work where is now is. Mr. and Mrs. Telford are both members of the Presbyterian church. pp. 366-367 (no photo)

He is a son of Edwin James and Harriet (Foster) James, both of whom were likewise born in England and representatives of an old family of that country. When but two years of age Mr. James was brought by his parents to Canada, when the father located at Bridgewater, Hastings county, Ontario, where he was identified up to the time of his death as a postmaster, manager of the telegraph office, and also conducted an insurance business.

In 1881 he came to Winnipeg where he entered the services of the Canadian Pacific Railway as a telegraph operator, which position he filled, and also that of relieving agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway for two years. Subsequently he filled the position of head operator in Mr. Van Horne's office, and later was train despatcher, which position he occupied from 1884 to 1891, and until 1895 was chief train despatcher for the company. In the latter year he was appointed divisional superintendent and filled this position up to 1900, being again promoted to the position of superintendent of transportation for the western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and filled this position for three years He resigned from the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway to enter the services of the Canadian Northern Railway as general superintendent, which position he filled for the years 1903 and 1904, and in the latter year was promoted to the position as manager for the company.

Oh, just realized they are both listed in the same bio (2 for 1 I guess!)

Two children: Barbara & Mary. It also lists other members of the family (whatever that means) are Robert Ernest, John Herbert, Mary Helen and Euphemia Margaret. Are these your Monteiths? Bette
