Re the Daniel John Blackford buried in Kamloops, information from his marriage and death certificates indicate that he was born 25 June 1857 in London son of John Blackford and Mary Ann Johnson. The IGI indicates that he was baptised at St.John the Evangelist, London Westminster. He was a widower when he married Gertrude Wikinson in 1921 in Kamloops. The name is spelled "Blackford" in each instance. I don't know when, why or how he ended up in Kamloops, but I would be interested in any additional information.
