What needs to be looked up at the Cloverdale branch of the Surrey Public
Library? I live in Cloverdale and will be at the branch on Tuesday (Monday
is a holiday here in BC).

Cheers,

Hi Les: If you're willing to be patient, I will check the Vancouver
City Directories for you to see if we can discover who was residing at
360 W. 16th Avenue the next time I'm at the Surrey Public Library -
probably sometime in September. (I'm presently laid up with a back
problem and unable to drive). Or, perhaps someone else on this List
living in the area will be able to assist.....

I did check the B.C. Vital Event Indexes for Craigens, but came up
with nothing definitive; likewise with both the 1881 and 1901 Canadian
Censuses. If you can guess at who might have sent the photo you could
search these sites yourself.

1901 Canadian Census Index

Let me know how you get on, and if you will want me to check the
directories at a later date.

Regards,
Pat, Mission, B.C.

Hello List

Many year ago, an elderly Aunt in Aberdeen (now deceased) passed an
old
photograph to one of my sisters. The photograph is a family group
showing
(left to right)
>
Jessie Ogilvie Craigen (my Grandmother)
Anne Craigen (Anne Hall Manzie - my Great Grandmother)
James Brown Craigen
Alec (full name unknown)
Christina Fraser Craigen (Chrissie.. a.k.a. Kiki)
Robert Manzie Craigen (Bob)
Annie Craigen
George Craigen (son)
George Craigen (my Great Grandfather)

This photograph had been sent to my Aunt in an apparently recycled
envelope which bore the return address 360 West 16th Avenue, Vancouver
10, British Columbia. There is no date available but the photograph
would have been taken I think between 1895 and 1908
>
It's another long shot but does anyone recognise this family -
especially
anybody in Canada?
Thanks for your attention
