Looking for info on John Bennett

[Tomster]

This is something I have meant to follow up, but never go around to it. It would likely be posted in the Vancouver Sun under the name of Jessie Fisher.

Hi Tom,

Found the Vancouver Sun Issues May 1, 1920 - Feb 28, 1987 - which doesn't help.  Might have to be an e-mail to Vancouver Public Library.  Runkitty and LindaGW are usually the experts on the obituary front but not sure they are finding anything for Jeanette Fisher.

I'm close to the main branch of the VanPL. If you want I'll go and look it up. Let me know if someone else is already going to do it. I wondered about it before but thought you might already have it.

*****added.....The Vancouver Daily Sun was also published from 1917 to 1920. There may well be a local paper on microfilm that covers 1917. Its worth a look.

If he was registered in September quarter 1890 in Leeds, he somehow has one of these surnames:

Binns, Blackburn, Brearley, Emmott, Goodman, Harrison, Ingram, Jessop, Lightowler, Mackrell, Moon, Rose,
Staniland, Walker, Wildsmith.

I can see West Yorkshire baptisms for Blackburn, Emmott, Ingram, Lightowler, Wildsmith, Walker.
Deaths for Binns, Staniland, Moon
Census in Leeds for Brearley, Goodman, Harrison, Jessop, Mackrell, Rose,

So all those accounted for.

He was baptised some time after his birth, so although birthplace claimed Leeds probably somewhere else?

Hi Sami,

If you do go to the VPL could I possible ask you a very big favour - please could you possible look for an obituary for the other Jeanette Fisher (nee Molenkemp) who passed away 6 July 1933.  Helping another researcher with her and there is a slight variation in the fathers names and a 7 year age difference that concern her. Pretty certain it is the one she is looking for but an obituary might help clarify for her.

Taking another look at May McPherson - the aunt that was with Doris Wade and Frederick on the 1921.  Can't really find much on her but both the 1921 and 1901 census indicate she was born in Ontario - maybe she is related to Fred rather than Doris - shame - that would be another dead-end

Sorry I didn't answer earlier. I have been out all morning. Since I live in Nanaimo, its hard to get to the Vancouver Library. If you don't mind going, I would greatly appreciate that.

OK - I'll go to the library later this week. As it stands now I'll be looking up:

Jessie (possibly Jeanette) Fisher - died 02 Jan 1917 - Vancouver, BC

Jeanette Fisher (Molenkemp) died 06 Jul 1933 - Victoria, BC

Now's your chance - if there are other obits you want me to look up (within reason  ) just send me a PM.
