ok, nope i dont have a death notice for Charlotte then. Only the death Registration.

Her husband George Jones died in 1925 in Calgary, we believe she then moved to Vancouver with her two children, Harold (My grandad) and Lily. She may of been living with a guy called Robert McTavish. So just to confirm...she died on the 19th July 1932 in Vancouver at 1737 William Street. She was buried on the 21st July at Ocean View Burial Park. Do you need another other info from me?

That would be really brilliant if you'd be able to have a look for me Linda. I hope its no trouble. Only do it if you have time.

Thanks,

Adam

This is my great granmother Charlotte Wakeford, born in 1883 in London and died in 1932 in Vancouver. Any ideas of a date of this photo? I dont actually have the original photo, it was scanned and emailed to me. It does appear to have rounded corners and some kind of stamp in the bottom right hand corner, but cant make out what it says.

Thanks

Adam

Hello Susano and Beth......I still have the copy of Charlotte's death certificate if you cant find your copy Susano.

I am one of Charlotte's great granchildren too:-)

Just thought id give you some background info incase you were interested, always nice to know a bit of the background story when your looking someone up.

I’m quite new to all this family history research and have only recently started researching my dads side of the family.  Started out by researching my great grandad George Jones as I knew he was involved with the first world war (which I have an interest in)….he was born in Hucknall (UK) in 1885….he became a minor, then sometime between april 1911 and 1914 he went to America, then in 1915 (by which time he’d moved over into Canada) he signed up to the CEF in Calgary and was sent back to England for training which is where he met Charlotte Wakeford, they married in 1915 and had their first child in 1918, lily Jones. In 1919 George, Charlotte and Lily all went back to Canada to live. In 1922 my Grandad was born, Harold Jones. Sadly due to the effects of mustard gas George died in 1925. Charlotte moved to Vancouver and then only 7yrs later Charlotte also died………and its Charlotte death registration that ive asked you to look up for me:-)  Their two children Lily and Harold were then sent to live with Charlottes aunt or sister in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
