An English newspaper report of the death of Oliver DEATH states that it took place in a railway accident on 14th Sept 1883 in British Columbia, in a place that looks like Hamusaud or Hamusand. I can't find such a place. Please could anyone help?
Many thanks, Chris

Hi Chris
I think - he died at Maple Ridge - aged 50
But his death has been indexed as HEATH
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Ridge,_British_Columbia
There were a lot of Finnish families in this area - and the name of the place you mention 'looks' very Finnish to me.....
Cheers

Hi again
Having said that -- I wonder actually, if the precise place is "Hammond" - which is within the Maple Ridge Area (Which is in the Fraser Valley, New Westminster area - I think!)
Search for "Maple Ridge" here:
http://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/bcnames/g2_search_by_name.htm
Then, bring all the places up within a 5km radius : Hammond stands out - it's listed as a Station , and bringing it up further, it's listed as a Railway Station and Post office! Looks likely to me  Maple Ridge was probably it's administrative town - causing the death to be registered there.
Maple Ridge Cemetery transcriptions here - but can't see him:

He isn't shown as Death or Heath in here, either ( cemetery Transcripts).....

Perhaps if you modify to put - B.C. death lookup - in the subject line someone there might give the above entry a look...

If you have an idea when he immigrated, you can search for the manifest at the National Archives Canada. They aren't indexed, so you have to search manually.
