Here's the link to the BC Certificates....

Perhaps someone from BC might be able to get you an obituary for Harry.

Hi again!

Yes, I did see the Frosts in Kenora, but skipped over it and couldn't find it again. It's taking me a little while to get used to the site - what with me being computer illiterate and a slow learner and all  ;D

Thank you very much for the deaths too. That explains why I couldn't find Harry in England.

As this is my m-in-laws uncle (and he's from a family of 10 children) I won't get the d/c, but I'm sure she'll be very interested when I pass on all this new information. She was a bit out with the year of death though  ;D.

Many thanks again. I'm going to have another look at the 1911.

Just had a look at the information given by my m-in-law. She reckons Harry and Grace had a son, Stephen in 1920, but there's no mention of any other children.

PS. Karen. I can't seem to find Harry and Grace in the 1911 census  >:( I must be doing something very wrong .....

Well....if you are Ruskie I have done the same thing wrong a dozen times, a dozen different ways cause I can't find them either  :(

I can't find them anywhere in the 1911.  Guess we will have to wait for Karen to set us straight.

Just wanted you to know I don't think it's you....well, it could be you but you aren't alone  ;D ;D

Thanks dollylee,

I feel a bit better now. The frustrating thing is that I think I saw some Frosts in Kenyon, didn't take much notice, and dismissed them because I thought they'd be in Regina .... never mind, I'm sure Karen will come to my rescue later  ;)

Hi Ruskie and Dollylee

If it is the one I found no wonder it was not hitting you in the eye.  ;D

On Anc**** they are listed as Afert and when you view the image it
doesn't look  anything like Frost yet the information tallies with Karen's and your own
Ruskie with Harry arriving 1897 and  being born 1872?. Grace born 1864 and arriving 1887.

It is Sub District 78 No 1 North Ward Town of Kenora.

Sorry if it is in-correct.
