The "Passages" site was a great find J.J.  ;D  Maybe the Funeral Home will have even more information for him.


Here is another site to look for relatives.
http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/Query.php

Not knowing all your family members names or naming patterns, it would probably be better if you checked.  (Here is one that I found)

GROOM'S LAST NAME: STEEL
GROOM'S GIVEN NAMES: HUGH NEILSON
BRIDE'S LAST NAME: FOX
BRIDE'S GIVEN NAMES: MARGARET MCCULLOCH
Place of Marriage: WINNIPEG
Date of Marriage: 04/20/1923


Here is another site;

Wonderful Janice! ;D...I tried to find that marriage on Vital stats Man...where did you find it? That site so seldom works for me...

Mk2_Zephyr...I saw the other names, born in Scotland references, and thought it may have just been family memory that it was one generation sooner...
Now that we have placed the rellie, maybe we can look for more...!!!!

About a dozen Steel in the phone book here...J.J.

The son's info is listed here... http://findaperson.canada411.ca/
A quick note to them should get results! Maybe they can put you in touch with a family member who knows the genealogy? Every family seems to have at least one... ;D   J.J.

Sorry, I hadn't read the obit through...You need to look in  Maple ridge, B.C. and the only J. is the same nickname the father was called... ;)  J.J.

Many - many apologies for not successfully replying to your messages the other ways I have tried: This is my sixth attempt today!

    Just wanted to thank you for your e-mail,and to apologise for having bothered you as it seems you don't think there is a link here after all. My father told me about Walter settling in Winnipeg,and he had a daughter of the same name as the one whose marriage you have discovered through Rootschat. that gentleman's brother emigrated to Australia,and from there some members of his family moved to NZ,so there were a lot of similarities!

     Best wishes to you in your hunt for further family history,Islay.

No worries at all,

I'm not 100 % they aren't related,

but they are related to some one who I talked too a while back, so I will see what else I can find !

I know who this man is and where he settled, if you are still interested. I visited with his daughter in Canada some years ago.
