Thanks Judy and Stella,

I have not been able to find a marriage certificate for him in the state of WA. I was hoping he had gone up to Victoria, like he did for his 1st marriage.
He is in the 1930 census in Grays Harbor- but Grays Harbor did not have a marriage certificate for him.
Thanks!!

Hello again,

My grandfather remarried again in 1931 or early 1932 and we are not able to find out where he did remarry. But now I am wondering if he went back up to Victoria. Would you be able to check that out.
Martin (Matt) Hynes married Ellen Warren.

Thanks

Does anyone have experience with Christ Church Cathedral marriage records from 1870's time period. I am interested in knowing if the parents names are on the records. Especially the mothers maiden name??
Also, does anyone know what info would be in burial record??

My grandfather - Martin (Matt) Hynes married Maud on July 4th 1917 in Victoria, British Columbia.

Maud was 16 years old at the time. They were both living in Pierce County, WA and so I was surprised to find this out. But anyways, I was wondering how I would get more infomation on this or is there a way to get a copy of the certificate.

I QUIZZED HER ABOUT IT, THIS WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO: SHE FINALLY RELENTED AND SAID WELL THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF OLD PAPERS OF MY FATHERS. I TOOK THEM HOME AND BEGAN TO GO THROUGH THEM A FEW DAYS LATER. THERE IS MUCH OF THE HISTORY OF THE TYLLIA FAMILY AND NORTH PORT, WASHINGTON IN THAT MATERIAL. IF YOU EVER HAVE THE INCLINATION TO COME AND VISIT, IT IS ONLY ABOUT A TWO HOUR DRIVE, AND WE WOULD BE GLAD TO MEET YOU. WE COULD GO THROUGH THAT STUFF.

Seeking Victoria City Directories Look-Up, 1929-1949

gshaslam — 2009-10-25 08:27:29Z

I am seeking to learn where all my grandmother, Mary Alice Haslam, resided while she lived in Victoria, and who all resided at the same address.
Mary Alice Haslam moved from Harrison Hot Springs to Victoria April 1929 after the death of her husband, Victor George Haslam, and the fire that destroyed the family home. She was left destitute and impoverished, with three boys (now all long time deceased). I do not know why Victoria of all places, she might have known someone there or had a connection.
Mary Alice Haslam resided at 819 Hillside Ave. in June 1940 when son was married, and she lived at 2309 Quadra St. when she died Dec. 12, 1949 (1949-09-011023).
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could check the City Directories for 1929-1949 and identify when and where she lived, and who with.

Re: Seeking Marriage Announcement from Times Colonist 1940

gshaslam — 2009-10-18 05:24:37Z

WOW, Judy...you are amazing! Thank you many times over for this!
Thelma Victoria Haslam (nee: Duckworth) supposedly married the second time to a Mr. Ferris, but could have married again if she parted from him either through divorce or his death. I do not know when she was born, her first husband James V. Haslam was born 1917, she may have been older (born abt 1907). Wilma could not be her mother as she was born abt 1894, but might have been a step mother, this could explain why Wm H. Duckworth was so much older born abt 1874. This Thelma Bauman is definately worth my time to research, can't leave any stone unturned......

Re:Thelam Victoria Duckworth (Haslam/Ferris) *Victor HASLAM death

gshaslam — 2009-10-17 19:57:10Z

Hi Stella, thanks so much for the info. I do have the obit for James V. Haslam, and you found the right guy. However, Thelma divorced him on April 01, 1949 (059 0471) in Victoria and thereafter James had no contact with Thelma or their daughter Patricia Haslam. Thelma Haslam (nee: Duckworth) remarried sometime after to a Mr. Ferris (do not know where) and was thought to have resided in Coquitlam. Do not know if Patricia was adopted Ferris or whatever happened to her.

Re:Thelam Victoria Duckworth (Haslam/Ferris) *Victor HASLAM death

gshaslam — 2009-10-17 20:23:45Z

Hi Stella, wow that was quick...lol..
It is sad that James never kept in touch for the benefit of their daughter Patricia, he was a heavy drinker then and perhaps Thelma had enough and for the sake of the child embarked on a new chapter of her life. I am hopeful that a marriage announcement can be found and that it gives more info about Thelma like who her parents were. I have little otherwise to go on. The directories are a very good suggestion....Thanks.

PEARSON - Joseph and Anne

JoannePeterson14 — 2009-10-26 14:37:31Z

Does anyone know anything about the Pearsons [Joseph and Ann Elizabeth] who had an Antique Store called "The Old House" at 1038 Fort Street until their deaths in 1979? Joseph died March 2, 1979 at age 89; Ann a few days after on March 11 at age 80. There was a terrible house fire in their home at 1256 Beach Drive. Apparently they also had a threate [not sure which]. They had no children and left much of their estate to charities like the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria [which also got a large collection of their china]. Any stories about them would be appreciated. But it is PHOTOS that are especially sought!

Arnold and Harold arrived in Halifax 3 May 1913, final destination Salt Spring Island. Harold Archer b 15 Sep 1892 died 21 May 1932. He was a gas station owner and remained single. Did you want me to check out an obituary for surviving family or do you already have that information.

Hi, Contact Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Victoria - There may be someone who may offer to do a lookup.
http://www.raogk.org/bcolumbia.htm
Vancouver Public Library - Main Branch -holds Victoria Newspapers in their collection as well.

**Marriages should appear in the Classified section of the newspapers.
**In those days - there were also Social Pages - where marriages also appeared. Some just small mentions - others with more information.

cheers, Stella

Hi, Sorry this was not helpful.I find that though there are divorces - and separations for years - at some point family connections may be made - thought this may have been a case of parents divorcing - but the child, children - still in touch with a parent as an adult.
Wishing you much Luck with your research . Cheers, Stella

There are two Listings in Nanaimo - both for FERRIS surnames.
Perhaps family connected to Patricia Ferris WOOTEN.
Contacting the two - may prove helpful - they may know where Patricia is - and may also be family connected to your research.
Cheers, Stella

Stella_Stanger — 2009-10-19 21:30:29Z

Hi Just another thought - Do you know if the father / mother of Patricia Ferris WOOTEN - are still living?
If Not -Perhaps an Obituary - would mention the location of Patricia.

Cheers, Stella

Hi, Have you searched Online White Pages Directory MyTelus.com
There are just 4 WOOTEN surnames listed - perhaps family connected? May be worth checking.

Hi Judy
They were Arthur Norton Hickling and Harold Archer Hickling Churchill (sometimes Harold was spelt Harald) We believe that Harold was engaged to be married but have no further information. The information about the gas station is new, so thank you. A book about Clifton college in England is about to be published and the three brothers feature strongly in this due to their Rugby exploits.
