Canada / Re: Cemetery in Edmonton District named Pleasant View

Yes that my confusion also I was told it was Pleasant View Edmonton Alberta, but the only cemetery name I can find is a Mount View in Edmonton AB, for which records are online as long as they are older than 25yrs old - and they are not found in this one. 

So I'm guessing the Pleasant View one should be correct, I just can't find any contact details for it and had wondered if it had changed it's name since the 1950s

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for the swift reply, but the references you supplied are in connection with Ontario records, I'm looking for Alberta, so I had better go back and amend the title.  But thanks for looking for me.

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone could do me a huge favour I'm looking for the Death Notices/Obituary Notices of

1) Thomas Chambers - date of death I believe is 24 Dec 1953 in Edmonton (or Robb, Jasper, not sure if they had moved into the town later in life)

2) Wife of Thomas - Mary Chambers (nee Findlay) died again I believe 1959, Edmonton (sorry no further details other than year of death).

I would be so appreciative if anyone can come up with these, to complete the story of these two.

Many Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the information I have been given by a relative is correct?

I've been told that the Thomas & Mary Chambers d. 1953 & 1959 are buried in a cemetery of this name, but I'm struggling to find a cemetery of this name, has it been renamed?

Mount View Cemetery comes up, but when I search their records the names don't appear, as don't Thomas & Mary's daughter Mary or Mae Wallator & her husband Sidney who are suppose to be in the same cemetery as Thomas & Mary Chambers.

Any help would be greatfully received.

Hi Kingskerswell,

Thanks for such a precise date and the name of the church, I'm sure Terence in Australia will be delighted to add this to his family data.

I agree that Newry is a long way from Larne, but must persume that this was her home town, again Terence may be able to confirm that.

Can I enquire how you had the exact details?

Many Thanks once again from both Terence and myself

Lynn

Hi Terence,

Couple of further quick questions for you if you don't mind:

What were the names of your Grandfather William's children & where were they born? Ireland or Australia?

Who was the first of the family to arrive in Australia, did they go directly to Victoria or land at another point.

Just trying to get a starting point in Australia and then work backwards.

Many Thanks,
Lynn

Hi Terpol,

Sadly no at present I have no further info on Thomas & Elisa - it's quite some time since I worked on this line...........but that is not to say I have given up.

Where abouts are you based?....and could I ask how you connect back to to Thomas?.............it's just some years ago I had been given information relating to this line still in Kilwaughter, Larne NI, and even visited a cemetery there with my husband but sadly to no vail!!

From you message you say Thomas died in 1912 do you know the whereabouts of this death? 

This line has been very much my "Brick wall" but hopefully, with the help/assistance of another line of the family perhaps together we will be able to crack the ancestry of them all!!

I'm extremely interested in your Gt Grandmother's name Weir, as some work I did with another girl on the Pollock/Pogue line, thought that Robert Pollock/Pogue (b. c. 1810-20 father of our Sarah & your Thomas) may have had a wife names Agnes Weir...........she we think was his 2nd Wife .

Please feel happy to share whatever small amount of detail you have, as together we just might!!!!!!!!!........................be able to "crack the case" so to speak.


With Kindest regards

Lynn
