I have found a newspaper clipping on FamilySearch for a boy child born in 1935 to Walter H Scott & his wife Henrietta Crampton. I have looked at the Canada births but cannot find it listed. To be honest I didn't expect to find any children as Walter didn't marry till he was 43 & Henrietta was 21, I would love to know the little boy's name & if he survived. They lived at the time in O'Brian Bay which I think is on Vancouver Island, British Columbia Any ideas for searching further
Ive checked FMP but cant find a birth for this boy, but family search have a female born 30th may 1940 to Walter Scott & Henrietta Louisa Crampton, In Victoria British Columbia, Baby dies the following day 31st May.
Hello Dogsday.. Actually O'Brian Bay is on the Sunshine Coast of BC. Only accessible by water, but on the mainland. It is north of Vancouver. A birth for 1935 would not be open to view...BC has very strong privacy laws. Deaths are a little easier to find and I have searched for a Walter Scott's death and the only one with a wife Henrietta, her maiden name was Thorp. I could not find any baby Scott deaths, which would have been recorded. When I looked at the marriage of Walter and Henrietta it said he was 47, a widower, and a grocer and said Henrietta was a spinster when they married and was 38. Not much help, I know, but if you don't have a death for him and could give me a bit more information i will do some more digging.
In 1940 there is a birth and death registration for baby Scott born 30th May 1940 died 31st May 1940 father Walter mother Henritte Louisa Crampton, Victoria BC......oops Thanks Nightryder.Missed that.
Walter Scott death..born Woburn England 19th June 1885 died 27 March 1968 Sidney BC spouse Henrietta Louisa Crampton mother Edith. Family Search
Could this be Henrietta in the 1911 census Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Philip Crampton Male 1879 England Head Edith Crampton Female 1881 England Wife Anna E Crampton Female 1907 Saskatchewan, Canada Daughter Henrietta L Crampton Female 1909 Saskatchewan, Canada Daughter
I cannot find him at all even with that information on the BC deaths index on the Archives website. I usually have good luck with it. Is the Family Search info user submitted?
Thank you, you have all been working hard, the census for Henrietta will be correct for 1911, I know her father was Philip & mother Edith, I have a copy of the Registration of Marriage, Walter was a Woodsman, batchelor age 43 & Henrietta a schoolteacher, spinster age 21, the certificate is stamped Nanaimo B.C. 1930 The little boy was born October 1935, the birth was announced in the Victoria Times Canada 1935, see image, but I didn't know there was a little girl as well. I knew Walter died in 1968 but not Henrietta's death, I shall take a look at FindaGrave thanks again, more digging required I think
Hi, Obituary in The Times Colonist newspaper March 29, 1968 page 36 Scott, Walter H.......survived by wife Henrietta and his only son Robin and daughter-in-law C*, two grandchildren D* (male) C* (female) and several nephews and nieces Code: https://archive.org/details/dailycolonist19680329/page/n35 The above link is very slow to load. Obituary in The Times Colonist March 19, 2014 Scott, Robin H. 1935-2014, survived by wife C* , son D*, daughter C* and N* Code: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timescolonist/obituary.aspx?n=robin-h-scott&pid=170247465 D * I've forgotten how to "unlive" these links
No need to split it if you are using the code. Put [code ] at the beginning of the link - but without the space - and [/code ] at the end - again, without the space. If you are not using the code and just want to split the url, click on the return key after www. to bring the rest to the next line. That should work okay.
You're welcome. This is the main search page for the British Colonist and the countless other names it went by 1858-1970. The search engine is dodgy, it didn't pick up Walter's obit, I had to use the browse by feature. There are a couple of photos of the Crampton family, try using "Philip Crampton" with your fingers crossed. Code: http://www.britishcolonist.ca/ D
Even I seem to be having trouble finding anything. Sorry to be late in joining in the conversation, haven't been feeling good.. BC Archives may be in the process of uploading the latest data, as I'm getting an error: Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request. Shady Creek is an area on East Saanich Road in Saanich, part of Victoria. Originally settled by black immigrants from the USA. Pretty area - shady - with a really nice little church. I'll have a look later and see if I can "break in". Wendy aka mrshuma
Hi Wendy.. I hope you soon feel better and can enjoy that nice weather you are having out there! Yes, I got that message as well a few times... I did find the death of Walter after @Dogsday and @demeler had found some information. I used W H not his name and since they had the correct date. Can't find a death for a baby girl, though and you would think the obit would have said predeceased by infant daughter also. I've been looking for some of my relatives as well and getting that message too...even for some that I just want to print the copy of the reg. for as I already know the dates! Guess we have to wait!
I guess I found a spot and was able to search 1935 deaths. Searched for last name Scott 1935-1935, either gender and nothing. Also searched for Scatt, Scett, Scitt, Scutt. Unfortunately, they are VERY prescise on the last name spelling, depending on how the transcriber viewed the name. Will see what else I can think of.
