Canada / Re: A Vancouver marriage in the 1960's?

Hi

I've got a website for you at www.shriners.bc.ca
I suggest clicking on the 'Leslie' conection in Administration.
or a snail mail at
Gizeh shriners of BC & Yukon,
3550 Wayburne Drive
Burnaby, BC
V5G 3K9

Hope it all works for you - Oh! I notice that they rent out their hall - it's listed right on the website.

Hi

The Shriners are a men's fraternal organization here in Canada and in the US - I'm sure that they keep excellent records and they've been around for a very long time -  they are the Masonic organization.
I'll see what I can find in Vancouver.... or even Victoria here, and they should be able to help!

A couple of suggestions for you - have you tried the BC Archives site online - I'm not sure of the dates for opening the records but you could check. Or, try the 'Marriages' listing for the name Henderson in the Vancouver newpapers for the time. Alternatively, you could try the Shriners or the Kinsmen for their records. If there is a marriage in the Henderson family and the father was very involved in the Shriners, it may be that the wedding reception was held at a Shriners venue.
Just a few thoughts - hope they help!!

The Tom & Isabella you're looking for would have to be Thomas Chalmers & Isabella Neilson who married in 1839 and had 4 children that I know of.
If I can help do let me know as I have lots on the Neilson family and their connections - I'm descended through William Neilson.
