It is a very complicated family and too much info to post but the jist is Lillian was born in London to Barney’s first wife, Barney arrives in Canada in 1910, the passenger lists says 9 years, it’s hard to read but either way, 9 years previously he has been in Canada. Lillian joins him in 1914 at the age 16. Barney and his second wife visit England in 1913.

He could be a Bernard but I haven’t found a birth or marriage that fits that name either.

I go back to him every so often hopefully next time I pick it up something new will pop up on the genealogical websites

thank you for taking the time to get it, I have the details of his daughter, that’s a sad story, I’m not sure that her family are aware of her manner of passing.
Annoying that there is no mention of his parents or further info of his early life. Oh well, at least I have a vague idea and have most of his and his families lives sorted out.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I have a fair bit on Barney. I was really hoping some kind person would be able to access the death registration.

Thank you for everyone’s help, I have a start with Streatham Hill so that’s helpful!

How do I go about stopping this thread?

Great stuff dbree    - difficult to know what exactly the poster has. There are a few tit-bits around.
Came across a photo of Pat Groves - will post just in case ?

1927 - https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113097280/mrs-pat-groves/

There was reference to Mrs Pat Groves Vancouver Womens Press Club in 1925/34 etc.,

Thank you I have seen these but must’ve scanned it and not read it properly, I missed the above Streatham reference
That’s a good start 

Hi,

From the Leader Post (Regina, Sask.) newspaper Feb. 27, 1939, Page 2, "Curtain Falls on Famous Old Theatre" with photo of Barney.

Thanks again, that was my hope that one of the kind volunteers might be able to assist

The archives aren't actually showing a copy of the death certificate:-

Perhaps one of the kind volunteers in British Columbia might go and look it up for you.
