This is the BC search site you can try to find your relatives if you haven't tried it yet.

There are a few sites for cemeterys that may help too. I will look and see if indeed there is a Dorman street and let you know.

This is the LDS site which should keep you busy for a while. You can go back to home page and enter other names of the family.

I don't know how many areas of British Columbia your relatives lived but this site may help with your search also.
I don't know how I forgot about this one.
