Place of burial given as "Capperton" probably means "Sapperton," and
that is now part of New Westminster.

If you haven't already searched it for these family members, don't
miss the BC Vital Statistics Indexes:
http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm
It has various limits on available dates:
1872 to 1899 for birth records
1872 to 1924 for marriage records
1872 to 1979 for death records
If you find results that could be your people, members of this list
will help you get copies of the registration forms.

You could go after wills/probate files too, at BC Archives.
