Jacki, I need to know how to go about finding death records for people who lived in New Westminster. I have a T.Hy. BATEMAN who moved there in the early 1900 and his brother Chas. Chas had 4 daughters and Hilda married a Minchull and lived there still in the 1970s. I suppose census records would do it wouldn't they. Sometimes when you start writing things down things come to you. Thanks , Coralynn in very rainy Quesnel BC. -----Original Message----- From: HUMPHREY JACKI <jackih@home.com> To: CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L@rootsweb.com <CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, July 28, 1999 1:26 AM Subject: [CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L] Birth Marriage Obit Lookups > I was pleased to see a Winnipeg list get started as this is where my >Canadian roots are from.
