Yukon Death Barnes
« on: Monday 10 July 06 23:52 BST (UK) »
Is there anyway of finding a death near a place called Whitehorse?
John Barnes possibly was buried there in the late1880's or early 1890's.
He was killed in a cave-in aged between abt 18 and 22.
Originally from England

Cheers

Hi kozmos,

Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon territory.  Civil registraton of BMDs seems to have started in 1896, so too late for your man.

I also looked for him on the two databases on this site with no luck.  It seems he was there just before the big rush started, so things were not as well recorded.

Sorry I can't be of more help!!

No problem Kozmos!  I loose track of replies on here too sometimes.   ;D
Glad to be able to help even a little bit - I've never researched in the Yukon, so those links were just obtained through Google searches  ::) 

Good luck with the rest of your research  :D
