Hi
Just for the sake of accuracy in your records, shouldn't the heading of your post have been "Should this post be Northumberland or Canada?" given that Spittal is in England?  :)

That's a thought  Imber

Maybe its because I spent a lot of my childhood at Spittal and the address at this  time comes under Berwick upon Tweed still have my brother living there .

I have to admit the postings last night just were remarkable to me who knows someone in the USA might pick something up  ???and help me further
Thanks again

PS looking at the photo Margaret look a little like my Nana she was another Martha Thompson cousin to Margaret Lyall nee Thompson

In reply 7 it gives the find a grave entry for Margaret Lyall Shepek - if yuou click on the link - there was a photograph of Margaret and a detailed obituary.  Using the names in the obituary and http://www.whitepages.com/ you should be able to locate those family members.

Hi,

I was reading this post and I live in BC and I am from the Borders.

I looked up your 1916 marriage at St Alban's church Ashcroft BC.

James was living at Hanceville, which is west of Williams Lake on Highway 20.
This is quite a long way from Aschcroft. Williams Lake and 100 Mile House
communities would have beeen closer to Lanceville.

He is listed as Baptist but married by an Angican cermony
Martha gave her address as Berwick on Tweed, suggesting she
was newly arrived.

I have a copy of the Marriage Jpg if you would like a copy.
send me a private message with your email address.
Yours Aye,

Angus
