Mountain View Burial Park, Vancouver, BC

Surnames: Shortreed Risley
Shortreed relatives are buried in Mountain View Cemetery, but I can't find details online. Is there anyone that would look into the cemetery records and/or photograph the tombstones of Robert Edward Shortreed Dec 17, 1897 - Aug 9, 1981 and his wife Ethel May (Risley) Shortreed (b. & d. dates unknown). Ultimately, I'm hoping to find a living relative. I am in southwestern Ontario, and would be happy to research in this area for anyone.

Hi, Mountain View Burial Park is the same as Mountain View Cemetery. If you google Mountain View Cemetery there is a site that comes up that has an index to the burials. I have contacted their office several times in the past and they have given me lots of info, includind a photo. I contacted them thru their website. Hope this helps, Joyce

Hi there

My own mother Annie Kerr is buried in Mountain View Cemetery and I looked up 'Shortreed' for you. I found a Robert EDINARD buried on August 14, 1981. Lot: 100F/*/32/*/0122. Unfortunately, there is no listing for Ethel May Risley or Shortreed. This is not uncommon as sometimes the wife may be buried with their parents as my mother is.

I can look this name up in our phone book if you would like (unusual name) and you could let your fingers do the walking.

For a nominal fee, the BC Genealogical Society will do research for you. Perhaps this family was buried in another local cemetery: http://www.bcgs.ca
or you might find a volunteer at RAOGK - Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness: http://www.raogk.org

My grandfather was Robert Shortreed, born Sept. 17, 1897 and married Ethel May Risley born 1910.
He is buried in Mountain View but I believe she was cremated. Hope this helps.

I would like to exchange family information with you - I have extensive history on your grandfather and his parents and siblings but nothing on him, his wife and their kids.
