Hello John, I printed your note and will keep it in case I run across anything for you. I go often to my local library and check out local community family history books so am bound to find something. Only Webster I know off the top of my head is a George Webster who died on January 5, 1947 who is buried in Brookside Cemetery but he came from Scotland and his obit did not list any relatives.

Not wanting to be left out :>), I was wondering if you have anything at all on my great-grandparents. Here is what I know. Names: Frederick Webster and Eleanor (née Field) Originally from England (I believe a place called Plumstead) Came to Canada in 1907, settled in Winnipeg Frederick died around 1928-29 (buried in Brookside cemetery - ref your previous e-mail to me ((thanks again)), Eleanor died in 1957 or 58. There is a family rumour that Frederick had changed his name to Webster from Hobson after he deserted from the Boer War. No rush, but if you find anything at all that can help me get started, I'd really appreciate it.
