VACHER/JONES London, Ontario
« on: Monday 04 June 18 19:15 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any Canadian members of the Vacher family. One branch of my family, namely Frederick James Vacher, born 1896, who married Violet Elsie Duke in 1923, emigrated to Canada in 1924. Frederick and Violet ended up in London, Ontario. They had four children that I know of - Rita Violet, living sister, Joan and Ronnie (who died aged five).

Last night I found Ritas's death notice part of which reads:

Jones, Rita Violet - Peacefully at University Hospital, London on Sunday October 18, 2015 in her 90th year. Wife of the late Maxwell Jones. .......... Predeceased by her son John and daughter Maxine. Cremation has taken place. A private graveside will be held. Expressions of sympathy and donations (London Health Sciences Foundation) would be appreciated and may be made through London Cremation Services (519) 672-0459 or online at www.londoncremation.com. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses on 10th floor Palliative Care at University Hospital.
(Published in the London Free Press, Ontario on 20th October 2015.)

I have tried the Cremation Service and they tried calling the phone number that they had in 2015 but the number was not in use.

Does anyone recognise any of those names, please ?

HARRIS - BKM
SIMMS - BKM
and lots more besides

Go here:

Search for the son-in-law in Victoria, give him a call

You are not supposed to use the names of living persons on this site.

Thank you. I have taken out names of living people.

I have already tried 411 without success, sadly.

I searched Canada 411 for the unusual surname (which I have forgotten) in Victoria and found a strong possibility of the right person.  Do you mean you searched 411 and found nobody or you found the individual I found and phoned there with no result?

The sister, P. Swim Nova Scotia, also has a possibility found through Canada 411 in Lockeport.
