Hi Gins

Sorry for the double up. I realise now I should have included this request when I asked for info regarding his wife Alice nee Cox.

Hope I haven't caused too much trouble for all who are willing to help.

Thanks for your time

Regards
Michelle

No problem

The only 'trouble' we have is we can't find him!

There is this, I wonder if it's him and he died a few years after you thought?

Canadian Phone and Address Directories, 1995-2002

City: Hazelridge
Province: Manitoba

Phone Number: 204 755 2250

..... or could just be a coincidence.

A look up for Hazelridge PO at
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/001001-100.01-e.php
gives its Dominion Survey location as Sec. 33, Twp. 11, R. 6, EPM

So a "Street Address" like NE S19 T11 R7 EPM is surely a farm addy, rather than a street addy. It would be 4 m E and 2 m S of Hazelridge, which is abt 30km ENE of Winnipeg.

Hi Gins & Marie Celeste

Thanks for all your time and help.

A friend of mine who has Ancestry placed a request on my behalf regarding my Derraugh family.

I am very luck as I have just had an email from a granddaughter of Alice and Jack Derraugh and we are going to supply each other with what info we have regarding the above.

One again many thanks to all who have helped.

Regards
Michelle
