Coralynn, The British Columbia, Can GenWeb project has a query board. I suggest posting your information there. I think you have a better chance of finding someone who would be researching for a James BATEMAN from Victoria, B.C. http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Canada/BritishColumbia/General Phyllis coralynn wrote: > > I have a death certificate that does not belong to me. It is for a James BATEMAN who died in Victoria B.C. on Nov. 1, 1889. Age 44 years. Born in England. He was a contractor . I can't make out what he died of because the writer was someone who did his m,s and n,s upside down. Does this mean anything to any one. > Coralynn in B.C. > teic@uniserve.com > > ==== CAN-MB-WINNIPEG Mailing List ==== > Visit Winnipeg District, Manitoba GenWeb Project > http://www.rootsweb.com/~mbwinnip/ -- E-Mail: phaynen@gte.net Winnipeg District, Manitoba CanGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~mbwinnip/ County Down, Ireland GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirdow/ Phyllis' Family Genealogy http://home1.gte.net/phaynen/tree.htm
