Thanks to everyone for the help. I will mail my request today. In regards to the BC Vital Statistics on-line at http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/index.htm, (thanks Viv) you can also get the photocopies at the Surrey Library in Cloverdale and the BC Archives in Victoria, as well as Vancouver Public Library. Thaks all. Marla

I am still looking for any information on the Leggett family. They came from Elgin Ont to Elgin Manitoba and from there to Winnipeg. Any and all help would be appreciated. My father was Howard Malcolm Leggett--he worked on the digging of the basement for the Hudson Bay Co. and was married on Polson Ave about 1923 Phyllis

When I ordered a Death Certificate for Miles Edmund Bacon, I wrote on the request that I was requesting it for Genealogical Purposes. After they received my order, a very nice lady from Vital Statistics phoned me to let me know that I wouldn't be able to get it unless I was a descendant. I told her that Miles was married to my late Great-Aunt and that they only had one son, Charles Wesley Bacon in 1881 who, according to a letter from my Grandma, had never married and therefore, unless Charles had managed to survive 119 years, he was also dead and their family line would have ended with him. She was super nice and at that point said there would be no problem with them sending it to me and I received it last week. It took about 8 weeks by the way.

Could someone help me please. In BC we can get photocopies of Birth, Marriage & Death Registration forms after a certain number of years have passed from our Provincial Archives. They are accessable to the general public, infact the index is on-line. I wish to purchase a photocopy of the Marriage Registration Form for my grandparents married in Winnipeg in 1912/1913 in Manitoba but in order to get it, the letter I received with the form states "an immediate next of kin still living" must authorize this. As far as I know all the children are deceased, unless there was a child elsewhere that grew up elsewhere. Does that mean I cannot get a copy? Can the general public go to the archives and research this out? Hope someone can help me. Marla Manson Revelstoke, BC

Do you have the web address for the online index you referred to in your message?

Generally speaking, I have found that all that is required is to sign the application form stating that you are requesting the copy for genealogy purposes. Some states/countries ask you to sign that immediate family ie. children or parents are deceased and that you are a relative of some degree.........

Hello This is second of two messages. I am starting research on my grandfather's family. They lived in Winnipeg for a time, roughly 1911 to 1930. I don't have much, but hopefully someone will recognize the name. Here's what I know : Grandfather's name : Jean Damhaut. Born in Belgium in 1901, family moved to St. Boniface in 1911-1912. He died in Toronto in 1991. He married Maude Webster. They lived in Winnipeg until 1942 or 44 when they moved to Toronto. His father's name : Julien Damhaut His mother's name : Victoire Pirotton Siblings that lived in Winnipeg for a time: Marie (married a Frank Bourne around 1924), and Hortense (married a Fred Harris around 1926) He once told me that his uncle Nicholas Pirotton was a well known person in Winnipeg in the early part of the century. I remembering him once telling me that he was a stonemason and designed the citadel in Winnipeg. This is the start of my research, so any information anyone has would be appreciated. Thank you, John Potter Jps2000@netcom.ca

Hello I am new to this group and am hoping someone may recognize the names above. I am starting research on my grandmother's family. If anybody has any information on the families I would be happy to hear from you. This is what I know : Her birth name was Maude Webster. She was born in Plumstead England in 1907 and her family emigrated to Canada (Winnipeg) that same year. She died in Toronto in 1990. Her father was Frederick Webster. He died in Winnipeg around 1926-29 Her mother was Eleanor Webster (maiden name Field). She died in Winnipeg around 1954-58 Maude married Jean Damhaut in Winnipeg in 1926 and they moved to Toronto around 1942-44. She had several siblings, the names I know are Sidney, Robert, Gertrude (married name Emek), Florence and Margaret. I am trying to find out first about my grandmother's parents and siblings. If you recognize any of these names or have any information that would be helpful, I would appreciate a message. Thank you, John Jps2000@netcom.ca

Hello, I am new to this list so I thought I would say hello and post a question. I am researching ECCLES in England and Canada (from circa 1888 to present day). I was brought up in BC although I was born in England. My Father came from Calgary and met & married my Mother in England during WWII. My Grandfather William Pawson ECCLES and G Grandfather William ECCLES (and wife Sarah nee MATTHEWS) went to Canada in 1888. My Grandfather died in Calgary in 1931. His obituary states that his Father was still alive and living in Manitoba. My questions are: Where can I look for my G Grandfather's obituary (I don't have any idea when he died)? Where can I look to find out exactly where they landed in Canada? Would there exist some naturalization papers or citizenship papers in a government archive somewhere and how can I access these records? Unfortunately, both my Father and Mother are deceased and cannot help! Also, I have no contact with any of my Father's relations as my parents split up almost 40 years ago. Regards Art Eccles in Kent, south-east England. Researching: ECCLES: Yorkshire all periods. ECCLES: Canada c1881 to present. PAWSON: Yorkshire all periods to c1900. WINDLE: Yorkshire all periods to c1900. MATTHEWS: Yorkshire all periods to c1900. WILLIAMS: Canada pre-1930.

This is all the info i have on him. Bill

Family legend has it that my great grandfather's older brother, Reginald Lee, was a brew master who traveled from Hamilton, Ontario, to Winnipeg, in the ealy 1900s and started "Lee's Ginger Ale". The formula was sold to the makers of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Does anyone know anything about Reginald Lee? or anything about his descendants? Thank you! Kevin M Lee Hamilton, Ontario
