At the very top of your screen, next to "Welcome Moira ..." it should say "messages." If you click on that it should take you to your private messages inbox and hopefully there's one there from me!

Hi Sue,
I just noticed your very kind offer for the Yalding area and I wondered if you may have an opportunity sometime to look for my ancestors’ grave markers.
My 5xgt-grandparents lived in Yalding and I’ve found these burials in the parish registers:
Isaac JONES (my 5xgt-grandfather, a farmer), buried 12 Aug 1798
Stephen JONES (Isaac’s son), buried 26 Nov 1782, infant
Ann JONES (Isaac’s daughter), buried 16 May 1787, infant
Robert JONES (Isaac’s son), buried 16 Feb 1812, age 33
William JONES (Isaac’s son), buried 28 Jan 1838, age 62
Nicholas JONES (Isaac’s son), buried 30 Jan 1859, age 81
Isaac's daughter (my 4xgt-grandmother):
Ann BUNYARD (formerly BUCKLAND, née JONES), age 81.
Ann died in Maidstone but was buried 13 July 1871 in Yalding.
This makes me think there may have been a family burial plot in Yalding.
When Isaac died in 1798 his wife Mary was expecting their 11th child. I haven’t found Mary’s burial and I think she may have remarried.
If you are able to have a look for grave markers for me I’d be very appreciative!!

If you think William lived in Winnipeg you can use the Ask a Librarian service of the Winnipeg Public Library. They will do a free search over a ten year period in the Henderson Directories for the City of Winnipeg.
If you wanted to try searching for an obituary the Winnipeg Free Press archives are online (there's a very small fee).
Best of luck!

Thank you for the offer CG! I pm'd you my email address.

Thank you for that info.
For now I'll have to remain unsure about where she was living and what she was doing there!
