Hi Gadget,

I got the death registrations and all of them matched up except for Albert Martin.  I can't find a death in BC that matches the date of death on the cemetery index.

I'll scan the registrations when I get home from work.  If you PM your email address, I can send them to you.

I have copies for:
Samuel Spalding Burgess
Rosa Helen Haggett

Donald Burgess
Agnes Maria Axworthy
Thomas Edwin Burgess

Margaret Martin

I checked the early birth and death records in the Kootenay region and found one matching birth record for Agnes Margaret Burgess - daughter of Donald and Agnes.  She was born on 24 August 1901 in Nelson BC.  Donald's occupation was listed as Builder on her birth registration and their address was "corner of Hoover and Cedar Streets, Nelson"  I think she also acted as the informant on her father's death reg but I can't make out her married name.

I did find a couple of births/deaths for the children of Andrew Burgess born Scotland and Julia Anne Kapstein - is this one of yours as well?

Regards,
Lynwen

Hi Lynwen

You are a wonderful person - Thank you so much for all this. I'll send you my e-mail shortly 

Don't think we had any Andrew's in the family - certainly not born Scotland. Ours were all William, John, James, Thomas, Samuel, Alexander, etc.

Thank you very much

Now is my possession 

Thank you Lynwen, J.J and Karen for all you've done in finding Tom's descendants.  I'll now attempt to collate all this information over the next few days and report back with a summary. I think I've got nearly everything that's possible now but won't put 'completed' just yet

From Donald's death cert  (23 Nov 1959) it looks as if daughter Agnes M b. 1901 seems to have married an Ames or Amers) - very faint signature.

Living First Avenue, Ladysmith in 1959


Also, Lynwen said:

Donald, Agnes and a Donald Ralph are also in the same plot (lots 14 to 16).

Just wondering about this Donald Ralph - could he be their son
