Hi,

I will be visiting Carberry this July to gather some info about my great grandfather William G. Rogers. He was one of the original pioneers/settlers of the area. He moved away for a time to Vancouver but then returned to Daly where he died at the home of one of his daughters.

Edit: he was born in 1854 and died in 1933.

I know there are two cemeteries in the area. One in Carberry and one near Daly. A search for his grave online in Carberry came up nil. But there really isn't an established database for the one near Daly. I would be thrilled if I could visit his grave, but understand this is a longshot.

Thanks
Brook

Thanks for this. This is my family. I met (great) aunt ruby a few times when I was young.

I called the cemetery office a couple of weeks ago, but they haven't gotten back to me. It's possible he doesn't have a headstone.

Will the registration number help the cemetery office or is this an Ancestory.com number?

Thanks
Brook

Hi, The Cemetery Office - will have information re All the Burials - at their cemetery - whether there is a headstone or not -
The Registration Number is from Govt Vital Statistics Registry Office
All Deaths, Births , Marriages are required to be registered - with the Provincial Govt Vital Statistics Dept. [ some parents neglect to RegisterBbirths - then eventually - a delayed registration is submitted -when the person requires proof of their birth -eg passport, pension etc]

WHEN - the GOVT decides that the Personal Vital Records are now considered Public Record - the index to information may be put online [ an ongoing project so not all information will be found ]
ANCESTRY - has been given permission to digitize the information considered Public Record - they have No Access to information - still considered private
Individuals / Families - may submit information to Ancestry - at their discretion. whether the info is public or private
