Canada / Re: BC Wills on Familysearch

The name may be in the index but the actual record might not be included in the Wills online. I found a few in the index from the 1960s are not included with these records.

Judy,

Here is some info from the Library and Archives Canada on how to read the documents http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-909.006-e.html

Also, the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group has a category titled service records http://www.cefresearch.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=19 which includes Acronyms & Abbreviations found in WWI service records.

James Stanley, Regimental # 426533 joined the 46th Battalion and went overseas on the ship Lapland. It left from Halifax on October 23, 1915. Only his full service record will tell you if he stayed with this unit throughout the war. This information is from the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group http://www.cefresearch.com/phpBB2/index.php under CEF Unit Matrix. I used the list of regimental numbers and the Bob Richardson Collection of Nominal Rolls.

Yes, it was. It killed more people worldwide that the First World War did. Most of the people who died would be considered normally young and healthy.

Here is another article about its effect in Saskatchewan The Impact of the Spanish Influenza Epidemic on Saskatchewan Farm Families, 1918-1919 by Joan Champ.

Here is one newspaper report from Google News:
How Moose Jaw is Grappling with Epidemic from the Morning Leader on October 28, 1918, page 2.

This public health booklet from the Saskatchewan Settlement Experience shows that 179 died in Moose Jaw from 1918-1920.

Canada / Re: Corinthian sailing Glasgow to Quebec, 29 Apr., 1909

The Quebec Chronicle online at http://collections.banq.qc.ca/ark:/52327/1854091 has an article about the sailing on April 30, 1909 page 3. It says it was a stormy sailing but nothing about throwing items overboard.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Brown's in Victoria,BC

He was only gone about 3 months. You will also find a few passenger manifests with Edith Grady on them as well. She returned to Canada in 1927 (in England from Nov 1926-April 1927) and 1932 (in England from June to September). You should be able to located them in the UK Incoming passenger manifests to see what ships they took to England and where they were headed.
