Hello. I have found out almost everything about my family the Body's in England since 1700 every house, farm, employees, servants etc. Everything about my my uncle Fred Body married to Bella Alvinia Whiteley born Goderich Canada. My Grandparents James Alfred Body and  Alice Mary Indcox who lived in Winnipeg for about 10 years and had Fred and my auntie mabel there. I cannot find out anything about Alfred  their son and a later daughter. Can anyone help please?

Hi Ivor

Can you give us an idea of time frames?  Do you have birth dates / years for James Alfred Body, his wife Alice May Indcox, & their children Fred & Mabel?

Is it specifically info re the children (Al)Fred & Mabel that you're seeking?

Might you have an idea of when they lived in Winnipeg?

Hi again Ivor

I think I found your tree on *A*. What a nice job you've done with all the pictures & stories.

Can you please clarify what/who you're asking us to search for?

According to your info, Fred is 71, an accountant, sailing for London in 1959. He plans to stay 4 months, is married and has 2 children (who are not traveling with him).

Sister Mabel died in Kent in 1960 at age 75. She does not appear to have married.

birth
Body, Mable
b. 26/09/1885, Winnipeg
mother-Alice A Indcox
Reg# 1885-004595

Body, Fred
b. 12/11/1887, Winnipeg
Registration date is 26/11/1926
Reg#1887-10911643
this doesn't make sense though - mother's name is Wittershane England which sounds more like a place than a persons name. This also looks like a late registration of birth.

marriage
Fred Body
Bella Alvina Whitely
02/02/1915, Brandon

I am confused as to what information ivor is looking for.

As of 1937, I have found newspaper archives, involving sports, placing Fred Body in Regina, SK.

Will keep looking....

Fred (12.11.87) and Bella A. (5.11.90) Body were both still living in 1959 when they travelled on the Empress of Britain from Montreal to Liverpool arriving 12 May 1959.  Fred was an accountant and they were planning to viist for 4 months.  Destination address was 28 Calais Gate Cormont Rd. London.  Unfortunately their return passage to Canada falls under privacy laws (after 1935).  If you had access to that list it would probably have shown their current address in Canada.

Given the 1937 Regina, Sask info, you might want to use the Saskatchewan white pages to track down the Body surname. There aren't very many of them.

I now have an excerpt from a 10/29/1943 Winnipeg Free Press article:

"Among them were Fred Body, a former member, who has been located in Alaska for the past few years..."

Thank you all for your great replies. I have all the information on my grandparents in Winnipeg and Fred and Bella and their addresses 1904 and 1916. Firstly 274 Hargrave street where Fred alone lived ( Shame I do not know the numbering in this postcard) and 141 Evanson Street which is on maps.google.com. Fred and Mabel were born in the Winnipeg hospital, but cannot find any photos, as to where the maternity ward would have been. Fred and Mabel prior to 1904 had returned to Brighton/Hove with their parents. Mabel stayed, but Fred returned to Winnipeg when the family broke up.

I am looking for Alfred and Florence who were born after  Fred and Bella's marriage in 1915 as I may have some cousins, if they married.
Thank you all again for your help. Will keep looking?
