This is a link to the memorial on Find A Grave. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=13... Also found some interesting items by searching the history book site. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/ Julius was an interesting person and seemed to be involved in getting churches up and running even for other faiths, he also was apparently Canonized.

Yes indeed, Arthur is Julius' first son. A couple lines down is his younger bro Ernest (EHD) and his wife Bertha, my GPs. GS is William the NWMP man's oldest son Gordon Sinclair Parker.

Maybe I should make my reservation there now...

And yes, Harry Dyke Parker III is interesting, though we don't have a Harry Dyke Parker I or II, it is a unique name prevalent in our tree that I will further hunt for, thanks!

Re: 1910 Death in Battleford but registered in Toronto

Gord_Parker — 2013-05-04 04:50:47Z

WOW ! Thank you all so much!

Yes, that's the same fellow. He was baptized in his father's church in New Romney, Kent, England. (1851 24 August; PARKER Henry John; {parents}Henry & Anne; St Mary in the Marsh). He came to Canada with his brother William on the same ship (Peruvian). We have a fair amount of info on many of the 4 brothers (in addition to HJ, William, and Julius, there was a fourth Parker that immigrated to Winnipeg and had 16 kids), but this sure fills in a big hole.

I've read the Glenbow letters cited in the book about his brother William but I am thinking I should go down and see the rest to see what details they hold.

The will/probate info was very helpful for sure, thank you for that collection, I wasn't aware of it.

And thanks to all for a couple more ideas to help me to track down (such as his burial place).

Best Regards,
Gordon William Dyke Parker

Henry J PARKER's estate file is on FamilySearch.

Image 13 confirms that he died in Toronto on 21 Apr 1910 and he was a sheriff in Battleford. His widow is Mary Ibert PARKER.

Image 53 also confirms this and states he had no surviving heirs except for his widow.

Hi Have you considered attempting to obtain - hospital records - for Henry John PARKER dcd April 21 1910.
Hospital records may have been transferred to the Provincial Archive in Saskatchewan.
The records are very informative -

Have you searched for an Obituary in Sask/ In Ontario
re the death of Henry John PARKER. Perhaps even a news story re the death. Obits or Notice of Death - will show place of burial Name of Funeral Home.

REGISTRATION of DEATH: Deaths [Births, Marriages] are Registered in the Province or State - where the event occurred.
Your Information shows that the death occurred in the Mental Hospital in Sask? - Signed by Dr. John H. STEAD of Toronto.

Perhaps Dr. STEAD did come to Sask. to attend Henry John PARKER. it could be that there was not a qualified doctor in the area to confirm diagnoses - or cause of death.

1885 act was passed -that the mentally ill were transferred from Stony Mountain to Selkirk Manitoba
1906: Selkirk Lunatic Asylum at Brandon Manitoba.
1911 construction of new hospital planned.

BURIAL: -Do you know Where Henry John PARKER is buried ?
In Ontario? Saskatchewan? Hospital Grounds?

1910 Death in Battleford but registered in Toronto

Gord_Parker — 2013-04-19 03:28:34Z

In {Ontario, Canada, Deaths, 1869-1938 and Deaths Overseas, 1939-1947} I found a relative.

The Place of Death says "Hospital for Insane (Battleford, SK)", but the Medical Cause of Death says Doctor John H. Stead of 999 Queen Street W, Toronto attended him and signed the certificate. This was in 1910, so after SK became a province.

Henry John Parker d. 21 Apr 1910. Cause Dementia praecox Catatonic Form, Immediate: exhaustion with nephritis

Did they ship him to Toronto at the last minute? (very doubtful) Could this Doctor have traveled? (but why register in ON), Does a telephone consultation count? Would they register a death in SK in the ON record books?

Deaths in SK Vital Stats aren't on-line fully yet and nothing shows up there.

I'm pretty sure it is the right person, multiple other references say the one I'm interested in was a Sheriff in Battleford and that's what and where this guy's death record says, and exactly the right time period. As a side note, this is a brother to Julius Foster Dyke Parker the Missionary and to William Parker the NWMP officer.

Thanks for any suggestions!

RE: You state:

It is possible that the time transcription of the cemetery was made -there was no headstone etc

Some transcriptions are only made - from information found at cemtery grounds - Some Cemeteries to not always give access to official Cemetery office records

Since you do have information via Cemetery record card for the death/ burial.or Elizabeth Simmonds Brown DEWAN

Contact The Cemetery Office.
They can tell you her exact burial place.
Does the card show the name of the FUNERAL Home / Undertaker?

The Cemetery Office. will also know the name of the Funeral Home in charge of arrangements
.
Funeral Home Records for that time frame may have been transferred to Provincial Archive.
These records may show some personal information.

Death Registration information - is only as accurate - complete - as the information known to the informant.

Marriage Registration - information comes directly from the Bride and Groom - so should be accurate.

Burials depend on the family.
You believe that William is buried with his first wife.
Perhaps a family plot had been purchased at the time the first wife passed away. Children from this marriage may have wished their father to be buried there .

Also depends on the availability of plots at a particular time. Some families - are not always buried near one another in a cemetery.

Re: Dewan Dewar Dewam Simmonds Brown

cobrown2000 — 2013-04-12 21:40:02Z

Thanks for all this, Jilajay!

According to all the censuses, William Dewan was born in Ontario.

I had not seen that cemetery site before - I am a total newbie in Saskatchewan; more comfortable in New Brunswick. This is interesting as Elizabeth Simmonds Brown Dewan (who is the main person I am interested in) is meant to be buried in Battleford Cemetery - her only surviving grandson (who I have spoken to on the phone but never met) has a cemetery card for her - this is how I know her death date of December 6, 1917. But she is not listed on this transcription. I see who I assume is her husband William there, along with his first wife, Josephine. Hmmm...

The Frederick Brown on the cemetery list is unrelated - mine (my husband's great-grandfather born in 1891 in England) died in Vancouver in 1951 - he lived in adult life in Winnipeg and moved with his wife to Vancouver after retiring.

However, those Frederick Brown's listed in the familysearch result could be interesting. At this point, we don't know whether Elizabeth came from England alone or with her husband Frederick Brown senior - so I don't know if he died in Saskatchewan or England. The Frederick H Brown probate in 1906 would be the most promising - Elizabeth married William between 1906 and 1911, so if she was widowed here, that Frederick would make most sense. Can anyone tell me how I would get a hold of more details about these probate records? I know nothing about Saskatchewan research!

It seems the only option for getting Elizabeth Simmonds Brown Dewan's death registration is through that ISC website, where they charge $50 - I did confirm that they will give a $25 record, but that will be only the bare details, not the full length registration. And, of course, there is no guarantee that her date and place of birth or parents' names will be on it. Also, right now they have not made 1917 deaths searchable on their website, though they will search for me if I need it.

Thanks again for all the help,
Nicola

Hi, I'm Lindsay Neelands and I stumbled across your post.

My fathers family is from near Milton Ontario, in halton region. My great, great grandfathers name was Lindsay and I believe his brother was Daniel Neelands. Not sure is the name got switched up at some point but its a small community and we're surely talking about the same people. I can find more info if you get back to me.

Re: New to Saskatchewan research - death certificate questions DEWAN/ SIMMONDS, Elizabeth

cobrown2000 — 2013-02-23 18:54:30Z

Thanks so much! This record didn't show up on a cursory search in Ancestry, so I had to browse through the pages (the page 18 listed on automated genealogy didn't match up on ancestry either) until I found them. As it turns out, ancestry has the name transcribed as "Dewam", so that's why it didn't come up in the search. It says she immigrated to Saskatchewan in 1904, so that's something to go on. The year of birth being 1870 I think might be wrong - looking carefully, it seems that there is a 6 written underneath the 7, plus, the age of 41 in 1911 doesn't match up with her age at death being 51 when she died almost 7 years later. Also, if she had an early first marriage prior to having her son Frederick in 1891 (which his birth certificate indicates), if she was born in 1870 it would make her awfully young when she had that first marriage!! I tend to think from her age at death that she was born in around 1866. But all of this helps a little.

I did email ISC about their birth/marriage/death indexes on their website. They said they have no timeframe for completing the entering of data (right now, deaths are searchable up to 1916, while marriages are not available at all yet. They said that while a genealogical photocopy of a registration costs $50, a search without a photocopy costs $25. I have asked them to clarify what you get with this second option (perhaps an email with a transcription of the info on the registration?).

Thank you for all the help!

They should be able to answer your quest.

Re the Given Name on the Census.
Probably an error on thepart of the enumerator. not that uncommon -
I have a Julia - that was entered as Clininka [ not a known given namr or surname ]The surname on some of the census - had also been misspelled. for this family - and the cousins family - always different. took much sleuthing.

Immigration year - perhaps 1892> rather than 1882.?

Perhaps DEWAN family submitted family history /stories to a Local History book project for the location. If so - it may help find some answers.

Re: New to Saskatchewan research - death certificate questions DEWAN/ SIMMONDS, Elizabeth

cobrown2000 — 2013-02-19 01:27:07Z

Thank you Stella:

This family is my brick wall family...sigh...

So, if the certificate comes from ISC, is there a different place where I get the registration info?? Can I even get the information if it does not yet appear on the ISC website database?

I will find out the name of the funeral home from my uncle-in-law.

The 1916 census has not been useful. William Dewan's wife is shown as "Dewan Dewan". Her age is given as 46, which conflicts with Elizabeth's age at death of 51 a year later. It shows her birth place as Bristol, England, which is the only helpful bit of information given. It shows the immigration year as 1882, which also conflicts, as Elizabeth's son Frederick was born in London in 1891 (I have the birth certificate). I do believe it is probably her, though, just with incorrect information. I have found several Elizabeth Simmonds living with family in various villages and towns near and around Bristol in the 1871 and 1881 censuses, but of course, have no idea which one, if any, is her.

I do not have a date of marriage for Elizabeth and William, but I do know his first wife, Josephine, died in 1906 in Battleford, so I assume they married between then and Elizabeth's death in 1917. Information on how I could get ahold of their date of marriage would also be helpful.

Further frustration (not related to Battleford or Saskatchewan - my original inquiry) is that on the son Frederick's birth certificate in London, England in 1891, she is listed as "Lizzie Brown, lately Steineker, formerly Simmonds". In the BMD indexes, I cannot find a record for the marriage of Elizabeth/Lizzie Simmonds to a Steineker, nor record of a divorce - the closest I can find is a marriage between Elizabeth Simmons and Charles Steinikey in London in 1885. I also cannot find a record of a marriage of Elizabeth/Lizzie Simmonds/Steineker/Steinikey to Frederick Brown. I am not sure they were actually married, especially since - if that is her marrying Charles Steinikey - she doesn't appear to have actually divorced husband #1.

We do not know when or where Elizabeth's "husband" Frederick died - England or Canada. We don't know if he came over with her or not. An uncle had been told that there was something about a divorce regarding Elizabeth. We had assumed this meant between her and Frederick, but once I got the birth certificate for their son, Frederick Jr, now I am not sure whether the divorce might have been between her and this Steineker person.

As mentioned, son Frederick Jr. was born in London in 1891. We don't know when he came over to Saskatchewan, but he married in Winnipeg in 1916, and had been to university for 4 years and had travelled in the Far East, so he must have come over no later than 1910 or 1911, likely earlier. We don't know if he came first, and Elizabeth his mother came later, or if they came together. With such common names, it is hard to identify them on ships' lists. I believe there were two brothers and a sister, possibly called Leena or Lina, but have no proof - just the aging, unclear memory of Frederick Jr.'s one remaining son. He really knows very little about his own father. He is the one who has the funeral home card, and did know that they had settled in Midnight Lake.

Thanks for listening, and again, any info on how I could get Elizabeth Simmonds/Dewan's date of birth would be appreciated.

Nicola

Hi,
The REGISTRATION of DEATH - will be registered in the most Current Married Surname. DEWAN? not her maiden name.if she was a married female.

The card from the Funeral home -will not have all the personal information. BUT.
The Funeral Home - may have taken all the personal information required for the Registration of Death. That would include the Date and Place of Birth
AS KNOWN to the INFORMANT [may not be absolute]

The names of her parents including the mothers maiden name -will be shown on the registration - if known to the Informant.

Don't know what information would be found in the
DEATH REGISTRATION for Saskatchewan for the year 1917.

Basic might be.
Name - Address - Date and Place of Birth. Age.
Occupation. Marital Status. Name of Spouse
Names of Parents including maiden name of mother.
Place of birth of parents
Date and Place of Death - Name and Address of Funeral Home, Cemetery - Physician.
NOTE: all information depends on the knowledge of the informant.

REGISTRATION of MARRIAGE:
Will show the name of Bride and Groom
Age /may show dates - Residence - occupation. religion/s
Names of both sets of Parents including maiden name of the mothers - place of birth of parents

Note: REGISTRATION is the information completed at the time of the event. it contains all of the personal information as required at the time.
Certificate is an extract of basic information taken from the Registration - good for proof of an event - without showing personal information to those with no need to know

Elizabeth DEWAN nee SIMMONDS dcd 1917 age 51 years - birth aprox 1866.
Previous: Elizabeth SIMMONDS m. Frederick BROWN.
Elizabeth

CENSUS: does Elizabeth and family appear in the 1916 Census ?
When? Where did Frederick BROWN pass away?
Did son Frederick BROWN born when? also settle in Sask?

Cheers, Stella

Re: New to Saskatchewan research - death certificate questions

cobrown2000 — 2013-02-18 21:34:52Z

Thank you. An uncle-in-law has read to me over the phone a card from the funeral home which states her name was Elizabeth Simmonds, wife of William Dewan, died December 8, 1917, age 51 and buried in the Battleford Cemetery. So, I don't know whether her death certificate or any other information about her would be under Elizabeth Simmonds (her maiden name) or Elizabeth Dewan. Also, at one time she was known as Elizabeth Brown (her second husband's last name - his name was Frederick Brown). I don't know if she came to Canada as Elizabeth Simmonds or Brown (she was also known as Lizzie, as that's what is on her son's birth certificate in England) - I haven't found her on a passenger list, don't know if she came alone or with anyone (e.g. her husband Frederick Brown or her son also Frederick Brown). Apparently the Dewan's ranch was next to hers in Midnight Lake.
Thanks for any help on tracking down a birthdate (or other information) for her.

They don't have deaths prior to 1917 listed yet. Is there any way for me to get her death certificate other than waiting until they add 1917 onto the database? Would her Sask. death certificate have her date and place of birth listed on it? I notice it costs $50 to get a certificate - really?? Is there any other source I might be able to find her birth date on that would be cheaper? I believe she married her second (possibly third) husband in North Battleford between 1906 and 1917. They lived near Midnight Lake.
Thanks for any assistance.
Nicola

Hi, Have you searched City Directory /eg Henderson/ Wigley criss cross Directory - for the location and time frame?
these directories - might show name - address - occupation/place. etc
May help give you a lead.

One of my relatives who homesteaded near Adanac around 1908, Craig Phillips, wrote letters to the government complaining bitterly that "B. Rogers" was treating him badly in not giving him his patent. Presumably this was someone in the local land office. Has anyone heard of such a person?

My birth info says my birth mother Doris Smith was born in North Battleford, Sask and her father James Smith born in England and mother Agnes Sharpe born in Scotland. If anyone knows anything, would be very appreciated. :)

Thanks.

The BARR family in Southern Alberta, who I was helping with their tree, will love to see this.

Just a quick note to say that I am looking at a tall case clock made by C. Sewell of Bradford. The clock is for sale and I am considering on it's purchase. Wondering if anyone in the family might be interested in it. It currently resides in Northern California. Clock is running, appears to be all original and complete. Case is large and in good condition. Thanks for your consideration.

hi
I have not checked this in awhile and I don't know if Urchenko is a common name in the Ukraine but I do know that my grandfather Ivan came from Odessa and had many brothers and sisters and did communicate with some of his family in the 1950's when commucation was allowed.He came through Philadephia to New York in the early 1900's. I however do not know any of his siblings names but I do have a picture of his parents and afew of his siblings. I would love to communicate more with you and see if we have a connection. If you have any further informationn please feel free to e-mail me @ alexaaronharris@gmail.com

Hi,
Online White Pages Directory MyTelus.com
finds 5 URCHENKO surnames Nationwide - Canada.
3 in British Columbia
2 in Manitoba.
Perhaps family connected.

You have posted to Saskatchewan Message Board.
Have you searched in British Columbia and Manitoba ?

Hi, this is late but I have the last name Urchenko.

My family is based in the Winnipeg area and I don't know a lot about my family history as I am the great-granddaughter of the person who came to North America but I do know he came through New York area.

Make sure to read the Harvey Reed story starting on page 143 as Winifred wrote about her Halliday family memories at the end of that bio. Butch

peislandjim — 2012-11-22 23:18:17Z

Thanks Butch,I did have the census records but the book....well I'm 61 and was bouncing like a kid!

I never met my grandfather Lawrence and to see him and his family in the photos.I'm sure you understand.

japeterson158 — 2012-11-22 22:28:25Z

I enjoyed the search and yes you can print what you want and share the link and the photos may be brightened up with a photo program. The site is hosted by the Univ. of Calgary totally free. Also I found William and Lawrence in the 1911 census for Battleford and also John, Eliza, Priscilla and Winifred, but spelled Haliday, just one L. http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html It shows John K., but mispellings are common in the old census.

Re: John R.Halliday

peislandjim — 2012-11-22 12:02:15Z

Wow!! Thankyou! Eliza was my great grandmother and I and other s have wondered what became of John R.The bio explains a lot.
I can finally put a face to them!Do I have your permission to copy the photos(as grainy as some are)? :)

Re: John R.Halliday

japeterson158 — 2012-11-22 04:52:12Z

Hi, I finally found a bio of their mother, Eliza, in the Senlac history book. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=2801 Do a Halliday search in the book and click on the page numbers that show up. The bio is on pages 115 and 116, but you'll also find a photo of William on one page. The bio will help you a lot. Butch (board volunteer)
P.S. this is a link to the Macklin history book, lots of Hallidays, but they don't seem to be related. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=6272
