Canada Lookup Request / Thomas Wainwright
« on: Monday 03 September 07 14:14 BST (UK)  »
I have spent many hours searching for info on my great uncle but without success.he was Thomas Wainwright who emigrated to Canada (Niagara Falls) with his family in 1926.About a month after his arrival he was working as a lumberjack on a bridge on the Niagara river when he fell to his death.He was buried in Fairview Cemetery and I have pictures of his grave.
I feelsure that newspapers would have recorded this event and I would be most grateful if somebody could help me with this search.
Many thanks

Many years ago members of my family lived at 839 Buckley Ave,Niagara Falls and may still do so or present residents may have knowledge of their whereabouts.John Wainwright lived there with his wife and baby son Also hie mother Lily.If anyone could give me the postal code of the area or any information whatsoever that would allow me to contact that address I would be most grateful

Hi Janice
Thank you for your reply.I now know that John Wainwright (my father's Cousin) had a son born in 1949,no Christian name unfortunately so I will direct my search in the areas you suggested. Thanks again

Hi Jeff
Thank you very much for your reply,I hardly know where to start.Firstly my search for John lead me to his sister Olive which was what I was hoping for.,she appeared on the same page as the baseball team.The entry was DePottie,Olive Gertrude/d Wainwright death announcement.I am not sure what DePottie is or the d (death?)after her name.Olive is my father's cousin and I hve been researching her whereabouts in Canada for a long time.There is quite a story atached to her as a young child here in the UK.Also her father Thomas met an untimely end when he plunged to his death believed to be in the Niagara Falls in 1928.
I have excellant pictures that I downloaded of the family plot in Fairview cemetary.
Getting back to John,he could well be the John I am seeking and it is interesting to note that he played for Buckley's East Enders and the family at one time lived in Buckley Ave,NF More research needed there.
Perhaps you could let me know what DePottie means, it sounds like an index.Thanks again Jeff you have certainly got me going again.
