William was Frederick's dad. Looks like he purchased two adjacent plots for the family. Quite a number of burials so hopefully there will be a headstone on 697.
Thanks again

That's him. Thanks so much. I will find out where section N is for my visit.
Incidently he was an attendant at the asylum rather thaan an inmate. His wife worked there too.

I'm trying to find the grave of FREDERICK JOHN CONSTABLE who died 10 Jan 1896 and was buried in Lancaster Cemetery shortly afterwards. He was aged about 30 years.
Hoping someone can help with cemetery plans, grave number, other burials in the same grave and if there is a headstone.
I'm hoping to pay a visit late 2024/early 2015.
Thanks

Thanks Sandra. It looks as though Agnes lived to be a good age - 98. Seems that life in BC suited her.

Thanks Sandra. Problem is now solved. Aunt Jane WAS Walter's half sister. Just need to find his biological father -  a bit more difficult.
Thanks again

Canada Lookup Request / Obituary lookup - Walter Harris Cooke d.1891 BC
« on: Monday 24 April 23 17:42 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down an obituary to my relative Walter Harris Cooke who passed away 15 June 1968. At the time his address was 473, Marigold Road, Esquimalt; Saanich, British Columbia. I believe that an obituary notice was placed in The Times Colonist on or about 17 June 1968 by his widow Agnes Cooke. I understand the notice makes reference to my aunt, Jane Nugent.
I suspect that Jane is half sister to Walter.
The Times Colonist doesn't have online records for 1968 but I understand they may be viewable elsewhere. If anyone has access and can provide me with a copy or transcript of the notice so that I can understand the link between Walter and Jane.
Any help you can give would be most welcome.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Herbert Lewis Bibby
« on: Wednesday 01 April 20 10:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi All
A huge thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I now have a good idea of the brief life of Herbert when he emigrated to Canada. I think that, given the time from when he married to when he died, any children would be unlikely, although possible. I have also located his sister, who also emigrated to Canada a few years later. Both Herbert and his sister married Scots; perhaps there was a family link between Yorkshire and Scotland in the past.
Again, many thanks for all your help.
I have other queries about my family's Canada link which I will post separately one in particular which has perplexed me for a number of years.

Canada Lookup Request / Herbert Lewis Bibby
« on: Monday 30 March 20 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any information on Herbert Lewis Bibby (b.1884). Migrated to Canada in 1907 from Leeds UK. He died in 1913 and was buried in Montreal. I believe he married Mary Ann XXX. I would like to find the name of his wife and what happened to her after Herbert's premature death. Also did he have any children and what caused his death so young.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
