I'll direct one of our BC researches to this thread as she may be able to get more information.

I've just told Annie that that's what you'd do and how good she is

Karen, I hope you do this for a living!!!  Thanks so much, I've got some leads so I'll keep the boards posted....

[annypanny]

JJ,  This is great, thanks so much, where did you find this?  Is it on Ancestry?

On the pilot family search site, I can see the following death registration that may relate to this family:

Murdoch Mcleod, b. Dec 13, 1887 Stornaway, Scotland, d. February 12, 1942 Prince Rupert, BC; s/o Malcolm Mcleod and Peggy Mckenzie; widow with no spouse's name listed so suspect that the informant was not a family member.

I'll keep looking.  I'm trying to get my head around all the mcleods, mckenzies, mcdonalds and variations thereof!!

I can look up any BC marriage or death registrations and provide a transcription of any documents that are uncovered but it will be next week at the earliest.  I have "grandma duty" for a few days so will be busy entertaining a 2-year-old!!

There's a passenger list for Euphemia MacDonald, age 29, with her son Samuel, age 7 heading to Vancouver, BC.  She is listed as a housewife and purpose of trip is marriage.

They arrived May 18, 1913 (one week before marrying Murdo) aboard the Letita arriving in Quebec from Glasgow, Scotland.

Well that explains why she isn't on the 1911, but can't see the fellows... Did find a Roderick & Murdo in van who were brothers but to an Angus...phooey...

So is this how he gets about? Murdoch is a Mariner! living James Street 1915, 4521 James
( Macleods start at 809) a couple of Georges and three Rodericks, but nothing jumps out to say he'll build bridges?

( noted that there are"bridge carpenters" for the CPR so can look at railway workers as well)


Might be this "watchman" on the S.S. Prince Rupert in 1914, ( I used a different directory search before that only went to 1914, so now am going backwards....so much easier ...) page 1036 living 4546 James

I found a BC death registration for Roderick John Macleod, b. October 30, 1887 Scotland, d. March 19, 1947, Vancouver, BC; spouse Effie Graham; parents are Malcolm Macleod and Margaret Mackenzie.

I don't see a marriage in BC for this couple.
