Murray, the gravestone you saw in St James was baby Jasper STILL . He was born Aug 4, 1914 and died two days later (Aug 6, 1914). He was a child of Edith & Charles STILL who were living at 435 Inglewood Ave in St James at the time. Charles STILL (born in 1889) was the son of Caroline BRETT &...

Thanks very much for sending me that stuff. After a quick review, somehow I'm not inclined to put much credence in that outline. It looks like just a bunch of notes and references that someone hastily jotted down when they visited the archives. The individual people in it are only vaguely and indire...

No offense, and no apology needed Tom. I probably know the frustrations that can be encountered with erratic information as well as anyone. Unfortunately, like bad gossip, this stuff gets picked up by other people and it gets spread far and wide as if it was the gospel. I get caught off guard occasi...

Check again Tom - Link: REV BENJAMIN McKENZIE]

Benjamin McKENZIE's wife was Harriet FIDLER (1839-1928).

What is the source of your information about James SPENCE?

Welcome aboard Thomas! Yes indeed, I already had most of the outline you have and for the most part mine agrees with yours. Just by coincidence I am finishing a narrative on James SPENCE and will be posting under Ancestors in the next few days. He is also an ancestor of my sister-in-law (See John Da...

Sorry Don, that one has me stumped too. I have checked through the online information from the Library of Archives Canada with no luck. HBC Archives online, again no luck. Can't seem to come up with anything using Google searches, etc. Hopefully someone out there will see this and come to our assist...

Query from Bryan DIX regarding Pearl Gladys STILL:
Hi Gary. I wonder if you can give me any further information about your aunt Pearl. Did she have any children ? When did she die ? etc.
William HICKMAN is my 1st cousin, 2 x removed.

Good to hear from you Don! According to my information, Isaac ASHAM was born 1845, probably in the St Peters Reserve. He was the son of Elizabeth BEAR & James ASHAM (1823-1901). In 1865 he married at St Peters to Matilda THOMAS . Isaac’s brother, Chief William ASHAM , was born around 1854 (same ...

Message from Don Larsen: Hi Gary - we have talked before via your Peter Fidler board. Interestingly, because of your board I was able to make contact with an estranged 1st cousin, now living in Calgary (I am in Winnipeg). I can see you have done a lot of work connecting the ASHAM family to the James...
