The Reverend or Father John McIntyre originally from Glace Bay

Whynacht — 20 Jan 2008 5:10:26 GMT

I’m doing some research on the McIntyre’s of the Glace Bay area and would like to have some more information on the Reverend or Father John McIntyre who was originally from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and who is now living in Whistler or Kamloops British Columbia. Prior to moving to British Columbia he worked for a time at Thompson Brothers Shipyards in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, which later became Steel and Engine Products Limited, which is now closed. If anyone could tell me if he’s still living or now deceased, I’d like to know that information as well. I’m also looking for a picture of him if anyone has one or would be able to direct me to one. Thank you.

Twins raised by paternal g'parents

turtle441 — 24 Aug 2008 3:20:57 GMT

I am looking for a set of twins, possibly girls, that were born in Mission City BC between 1926 - 1930 These babies were raised by paternal grand parents as birth mom was approximately 15 years old and the eldest of 11 children. Her parents were not able to support another child let alone two. The birth mom's surname was Ryder. The babes may not have been born in Mission, but could have been born somewhere in the lower mainland of British Columbia. If these girls are still alive, perhaps they would like to know they have 3 1/2 sibblings - 2 brothers and a sister.

Thanks....

Looking for GILL ancestors who settled in Canada (Vancouver)

michellelouisegill — 14 Jul 2008 10:52:23 GMT

Hello there

This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm taking it anyway!

I'm looking for information on 2 people who I believe to be my great-great grandparents:

Frederick John Gill, born circa 1851 in Orwell, Cambridgeshire, UK
Jane Gill (née Gill – that really makes my life easier, let me tell you!), born circa 1854 also in Orwell.

I believe they immigrated to Canada in May 1913, leaving from Liverpool onboard a ship called the "Canada" along with their daughter, Letty, and what I presume to be their son Edward and his family (wife Elsie, son Edward and daughter Elsie).

Through the BC Vital Statistics website I found 2 death entries for Jane Amelia Gill (Jan 1924) and Frederick John Gill (Jan 1926), both deaths registered in Vancouver.

Any information on these 2 people, or on the others mentioned, would be gratefully received!

Thanks in advance

Looking for info on Julia Taylor nee Keeton from London

bevbunn — 27 Jul 2008 7:06:59 GMT

My 3x grandmother Julia Taylor (b1848) fled to Canada with the family inheritance and I have hit a complete brick wall trying to find any trace of her! My nan seemed to remember her so I don't think she went until after the 1900's and may have changed her name to O'Rourke. We have a picture of her that she sent her son (my great grandfather Thomas Taylor) in which she looks really old - about 90ish!
I've tried looking up both surnames + her maiden name of Keeton but to no avail. I think she settled in Vancouver, and that some of her children followed her (one may have gone before). Names of children might be - Amy/Emily, Samuel, Henry, Rose & Albert.
Also my nan's sister Grace Taylor emigrated to Canada as a young woman - probably in the 1920's - she apparently married a 'Lemont' Not sure of spelling. She sent back a photo of her with her neighbour mrs McCracker/McCracken, taken at the 'spud patch'(?)
I would be really greatful if anyone has access to any sort of records which may show up this side of my family. Especially if we can get to the bottom of what she spent all the inheritance money on, as it was apparently a large amount and there was talk of a department store?? Who knows!?
Thanks in anticipation!

Axwell John Couper was born in Inverness, Scotland about 1880. His wife Adeline MacGregor (nee Finlayson) was born in 1878 in Knockbain, Ross & Cromarty. They married in 1907 but I am unsure exactly when they arrived in Canada. Axwell died in 1957 and Adeline in 1962. I would love to find some relatives! Today I discovered by chance that they had settled in Canada. I think Axwell was a dentist or dental technician.

Bette Colleen Pearson Lum Ho

CoconutQueen — 15 Feb 2008 1:19:09 GMT

I am looking for anyone who knew Bette Colleen. I knew her and her mother when they lived in Honolulu. Her mother was very good to me. Her mother passed away in 1983. I've been looking for Bette Colleen because I wanted to tell her how much her mother meant to me, but I found her too late. When I found her, I found that she'd passed away in 2006.

This knowledge saddens me because a link with a very good time in my past is gone.

L_Ayris — 19 May 2008 9:35:31 GMT

I live in England and am trying to trace someone who emigrated to BC, Canada in approximately 1980. In England we have an Electoral Roll which gives names of all people in England - is there an equivalent in BC? If so please advise how to find it. Also, is there somewhere I can go to - i.e. some web site or address to find out if a death has been registered in BC? - again please advise how to find.
Many thanks

Herbert, or Bert, came to Canada via Glasgow-Halifax 30 Mar 1907. Might have traveled with brothers Alexander and Norman to Moosejaw.

I've connected the family to Canada in 1907, back to Forfar circa 1800, and from my dad's move to the State's in 1946, but have very little information between 1907 and 1946.

Lundy possible Jackson connection

cheryls48 — 24 Jan 2008 2:24:02 GMT

I located my paternal grandfather's death notice and will through the Victoria Archives a number of years ago...William Maxwell Lundy was born around 1894 in Toronto and died in Victoria in September 1969. He was a dental 'mechanic' and after serving in WW#1 -possibly in the cyle unit, he remained in Toronto area for about 20 years and then moved to BC. Information I have found suggests that he was in the Prov of BC for at least 20 years possibly more and upon his death left everything to his friend Robert Jackson. His death notice in the local paper mentions he left behind many friends and cousins in Canada and United States but no mention of my dad or grandma. I have uncovered info which shows they were only married months before my dad was born and when William signed up for the Army a few months later he strangely lists himself as single. His body was supposedly cremated but I contacted the name listed in his obit notice who had no record of him....am really curious about what happened to this man and what his life in BC was like. The story I was told my my mother was that he was 'shell shocked' after the war and was 'never the same' but my grandma once told me that bruises in a relationship sometimes seemed like they would be easier to deal with...not that I condone any of it but I can only guess what kind of life she must have had a single mom in 1917---I was one in 73 and it wasn't pleasant. I would dearly love to know if anyone has any info on this man and his life.
