Do you have any other information regarding Robert? When and where was he born? Who were his parents?

Hi,

Robert, Antonnia, & Blanche are in Saskatchewan in 1916.  Robert says he came to Canada in 1906. Antonnia is called Lena on the census. Blanche was born in Saskatchewan. They are lodging at E. Cherniers place, township 29, range 25, west of the 2nd meridian, in the rural municipality of Wood Creek, Last Mountain Saskatchewan.

He was born in Hampshire, UK in 1885 & went to Canada in 1903 aboard the Kensington. Married about 1910. Parents John Powney & Sarah Mould. Roberts death registration has a Venda Burmeister of 6220 Sumas Street, Burnaby. Was she a daughter or grandchild?

The relationship of the informant is normally stated on the BC death registrations.  Do you have a copy of the death reg?

Very old thread with an elderly Rootschatter in 2010 - will post the obituary for Robert Arthur Powney in case there is someone still researching or it may become useful in the future.
