Josephine Evelyn Walsh born about 1915

Josephine Evelyn Walsh born about 1915

Classification: Query
Surnames: Walash Walsh Walch Waalash
Looking for any & all information with regard to Josephine and her family

I believe she is listed on the Voters list for 1945:

Name: Miss Josephine Walsh
Location: Yukon, Yukon
Occupation: Maid
Electoral District: Yukon
Year: 1945
====================================================

Apparently she was of Polish heritage so surname could be spelt several different ways. Walash Walsh Walch Waalash etc

It looks like the Voters list could possible be for Faro Yukon -no address is shown

There is a Michael J listed below her on the Voters List. I think her father could have been a Joseph Walsh or Michael Joseph.

Apparently she worked as a head housekeeper at the Whitehorse Hospital and also ran a boarding house in Whitehorse ??

She might have married but I am not sure?

Can anyone help??

Jay

Hi Jay, Have you searched City Directories - for the time frame of the Voters list - < >
Hendersons and Wigleys - are Criss Cross Directories - name to address - address to name
may show all persons living at an address at the time - may show occupation - and place of work.

Telephone Directories - may also show the family name - location.
If the family was Polish- they would probably be Roman Catholic.

They may be able to find - a Marriage for Josephine Evelyn - also perhaps baptisms for any children. Perhaps family deaths.

Canada 1921 Census ? Was Family in the area for 1911 Canada Census ?

Though there may be some Privacy concerns - contacting Whitehorse Hospital
http://www.whitehorsehospital.ca/
may be of some help. Ran a Boarding House - wonder if these needed to be licenced ?
City of Whitehorse - may have record of Boarding houses/ room rentals -

Was Josephine Evelyn WALSH / WALASH, WALCH,WAALASH - born in Whitehorse ?

Cheers, Stella

Thanks Stella,

Well, I dont have much info I am afraid.

I am only going by info given to me by her son. Apparently she sold her rooming house and moved to Vancouver about 1949. She had a son in Vancouver in 1948-49

I could only find that one record of Josephine in 1945- Voters List so far..

I am not sure if she married or what her married name would have been?? or Whether she had any other children ?

I have not looked at the Directories

But I was thinking if she did sell her land interest there should be some records somewhere however not should how long they hold the records

Thanks for the help :)

Hi, Does the son have the WALSH surname ? Does he remember where they lived in Vancouver ?
did the son know if his mother worked while in Vancouver ?

City Directories - eg Hendersons - Criss Cross - Information was taken aprox 1 year prior to publication - Name to Address - Address to Name - shows all adult persons living at an address.

There should be Land Transfer Records Purchase / Sales etc this would be handled by the Govt. Land Registry Office ? Older records might be transferred to the Yukon Archive
