Re: Headstone Photos - Elmwood and St James cemeteries

johnnyerwin1 — 2013-05-17 19:40:58Z

Hello again Dayna;

I finally had a chance to drop into St. James Cemetery today, apologies for the delay. I spoke to the groundskeeper about an index; he said that detailed records were kept and can be accessed by contacting the following person:

Margaret Steele
204-837-1538
margaret_steele@shaw.ca

There may be a nominal fee for a search. She can provide you with a grid of where the headstone is. Since I was there anyways I took an hour to look around, with specific attention to the "baby" section. Unfortunately I didn't come with anything. Some of the markers are in fairly poor condition and hard to read, others have been vandalized as well. I was also looking for another name while there so this was also useful for me as well.

I am still willing to get a photo of a headstone if you contact the person above and get a precise location. Unfortunately I think simply walking around the cemetery will only provide a small chance of success. Let me know.

Cheers,
John

Note the headstone/marker reads 1890 vice 1689, my bad. If you wish. Also note in one of the photos there are red flowers in the background by a headstone. The last photo shows the headstone as viewed from the right side of the entrance gate, between pillars, in line with the flowers for reference. Again my apology for the mistake in dates.

Cerneau — 2013-04-20 22:44:28Z

Drove to Clandeboye this morning. Strangely I must have been guided because it only took a couple of minutes to locate. As mentioned, we still have a few inches if not feet of snow. I cleaned out the marker as best as I could by hand and the results are attached. In retrospect I should have let the marker dry out to better display the dates but they are visible.

ROBINSON
Beloved parents
William
1689 - 1953
and
Hilda (Petersen)
1914-1997
Ever Remembered Ever loved

Discussed with the minister and the guild and this headstone appears to be the only Robinson at Wakefield.

Re: Headstone Photos - Elmwood and St James cemeteries

johnnyerwin1 — 2013-03-14 17:19:53Z

It may take a bit of time to get in there due to the large amount of snow we received this winter, especially if your relative(s) had a "flat" marker on the ground.

If you have not heard from me by the middle of May send me a reminder and I should be able to get this done for you.

Cheers,

John

Re: Birchwood Cemetery Swan River MB

lauraanderson1938 — 2013-01-16 16:08:37Z

My grandma's mom's name was Harriet (Rattenbury) Worsley; infant's name was Eva, approx. death for both was Oct. 1906.

Harriet's in-laws & 2 bachelor brothers in-law also lived with them and am looking for records of death for them, George & Eliza Worsley, & William & Walter Worsley & also Harriet's husband James.

After Harriet's death, her husband James, his parents & 2 brothers, my grandma's older sister May (or Mae) and younger brother Gilbert all moved to Pretoria south of Durban. It was said shortly after that move that Eliza and James died, such tragedy in so short a time.

The Worsleys in Durban cemetary are the family of Gilbert & Pearl. And Stanley Clancy was my grandma Lillian's husband, it's his dad that is buried in Swan, James Havelock Clancy.

And I come from that union of Stanley and Lillian. They had 4 sons, my uncle John is buried in Durban and my dad is Don to which is his 82nd birthday today. We lived south east of Benito till 1979. Dad now lives in Sylvan Lake, Alta., my mom passed away in 2004 from long standing brain damage she sustained in a car accident in 1972 that killed Gilbert Worsleys daughter Marjorie, buried in Durban.

I appreciate your time and effort in helping me, thank you.

Re: Birchwood Cemetery Swan River MB

fancy_man_man — 2013-01-16 06:30:50Z

Yes, Bowsman does have a cemetery and I also have the transcription, What was your Gramma Lillian's moms name?

I will certainly will go to the cemetery when possible and take some pics. We have over 2 feet of snow here at present.

Leone

Re: Birchwood Cemetery Swan River MB

lauraanderson1938 — 2013-01-16 06:08:10Z

thank you ever so much. The Worsley's are my grandma Clancy's side of the family & Stanley Clancy was her husband. I would appreciate any pictures, at your convenience come suitable weather.
My grandma, Lillian Clancy's mom and infant daughter died in Bowsman in 1908, does Bowsman have their own cemetary?
Again, thank you for your time.

Re: Birchwood Cemetery Swan River MB

fancy_man_man — 2013-01-16 04:30:21Z

There is a M.H. Worsley interred at Birchwood Cemetery, died Mar. 5, 1917, wife of J.S. Worsley

There is also James Havelock Clancy, 1866-1906.

I find nothing for Rattenbury.

In the Durban Cemetery which is about 17 miles from here in Swan a

Stanley Clancy who died May 5, 1958 at age 68 - He has a military stone

also

Dorothy M. Worsley 1938-1956
Gilbert Worsley Nov. 14, 1903-June 30, 1972

Marjorie F. Worsley 1937-1972
Pearl Worsley Aug. 3, 1910-Jan. 24, 1986

Hope this may be of some help. I think I have a pic of Stanley's grave. And in the spring could get pics of the rest. We have a lot of snow here.

You can google Brookside Cemetery- Winnipeg. It will bring up the City of Winnipeg site and you can search their burial records by surname and it also gives you a map of the cemetery. My grandparents are buried there and they were from England.

Re: Roblin Cemetery

DianeTaylor23 — 2012-10-12 00:16:35Z

I don't have any recent photos. I've indicated in my email to you the details.

As for google maps, all I did was plop myself down on highway 83 and advance down the road until I saw the cemetery. I'll send you a screenshot of what I just took from "standing by the side of the road" so to speak!

Re: Roblin Cemetery

MargaretMaud — 2012-10-12 00:14:17Z

Now that is facinating!! I have never been able to do that locally, although I managed once toget to a trailor park in Arizona whwere I could even see the cars parked there. I'm going to try it. Did you just put the cemetery at Roblin on Hwy 83?
I take it you have photos of the headstone.

Thanks!

Re: Roblin Cemetery

Hi, Barb.

I've sent you an email.

I've just used google maps and plopped myself down on highway 83 and am looking at the stone right now (off in the distance and quite blurry but it see it)! Thanks for absolutely making my day!

Re: Roblin Cemetery

MargaretMaud — 2012-10-11 23:40:11Z

Cemeteries are my hobby, and the one here especially. I have taken pictures of all (I hope!) of the headstones. I have also made a lsit of every person buried here (with assistance of the records at the Shell River Municipality. Not all the burials have headstones, nor were they all recorded) I just 'looked it up'. I am familiar with your Grandmother's headstone. Would you like me to send you a photo of it? My e-mail address is hansonb@mts.net.
Take care.

Re: Roblin Cemetery

I hope you don't mind me butting in. I'm wondering if you can tell me the location of this cemetery? My grandmother is buried there (died 1914) and I'm trying to find the cemetery on a map with no luck. I was there 20 years ago with my father and I only remember that it was off a main highway road. Help? Hopefully please and thanks....

Re: William Mitchell

1_kennedya — 2012-08-29 02:15:34Z

I looked but sorry there is no headstone for William. Checked the Brandon paper on June 27, 1912 the small obit is about the same info as the Winnipeg paper that is already above only that the funeral would be that afternoon. no location so I would guess it would be in Brandon as the date on the web site is correct.

Re: William Mitchell
