Hi

Hopefully, this link will take you to the actual death registration for Arthur Barry Fitz-Simon.

You can trace some BMD events related to the Frewing family at this link. Just put Frewing in the search engine without first names. You should be able to sort out who's who with the info from the censuses. (This is the same website susano posted Arthur's death from)

One of the current indexing projects on FamilySearch are Roman Catholic records in Saskatchewan fro 1846-1934 which might lead you to a baptismal record.

A possible connection to Ottawa for Herbert ...

This passenger list indicates he has lived in Wapella for 27 years but his current destination is Ottawa and he appears to be a Civil Servant. Arrival was 28 Oct 1910 from Liverpool. On the same ticket is a Robert Venning who also appears to be a Civil Servant. Perhaps they were on a business trip.

I wonder if he might have been able to contact his daughter?

If you have access to Ancestry through your local public library or other means you can look for Eileen in the 1911 UK census. She appears to be in the free index transcribed as Gileen but Anc has her as Eileen. Birth year is given as 1895. We aren't permitted to do lookups for that census here.

As Lilybell mentioned above, Ancestry has an Ontario death record for a Herbert B Fitzsimons:  Died age 55, 27 July 1920, in Ottawa.  Occupation civil servant.  The place and the occupation would certainly fit with the information on the passenger list found by polarbear.

A bit more information on Herbert the land description indicates it was east of Whitewood Saskatchewan. Have not been able to come up with any information on the family  living
in Saskatchewan from history books. There is a cemetery listing at Wapella Saskatchewan for a Annie Fitzsimons records say infant and no dates. I believe this is incorrect but cemetery records are in poor shape. I think it could be Herbert's wife unless there was another child we don't know about? .

From a further search on A***y there is a tree with  Arthur marrying a Evelyn Muriel Russell born 1903 Portage La Prairie Manitoba, they married 1937 in Manitoba ....her parents  Bertha Oatway and John Russell married 05/08/1896.

Again, many thanks

Yes I had spotted Eileen in the 1911 census attending a Convent school in London.

The family had believed that she had been born in England so seeing Canada as her place of birth prompted the original query I put on rootschat - which, as you can see, has unearthed some wonderful and surprising results

Hi all

I just wanted to share with you all that contact has been made with a living relation and a family reunion is being planned for 2015.

Thank you so very much for all your efforts in this
