Police Chief of North Battleford

Marlene Graham — 28 Dec 2003 6:26:23 GMT

I am looking for the records of Alexander John Johnston. He became Police Chief of North Battleford after WWII. A witness to this incident repeated the story to me a few years ago. It seems that the current mayor of the town (name unknown) asked AJ Johnston to 'look the other way' when he caught certain people doing certain things. AJ said that he would gladly do so if the mayor would put the request in writing on his letterhead. Of course the mayor wouldn't and made a few threats, which continued until AJ picked him up and literally threw him out of the police station... which at the time shared a location with the fire station. With in a few months after this incident, AJ was looking for a new job. I am curious as to how this incident was reported on AJ's police records. Before WWI he was a fingerprint pioneer with the SPP and then became a respected Police Chief in Assiniboia (as reported by his records from the Sask Archives). All of his sons chose law enforcement as career choices ..so did a grandson and now a great grand daughter. I am looking for where I can find his police service records with North Battleford. Thanks ~Marlene~

There are some family stories describing him as a bit of black sheep and stealing money from some grain farmers, and everyone is wondering if his disappearance has something to do with that? If anyone knows anything, could you send me a wee note? Thanks!!

Looking for information on EMMA ROBERTS b. London, England, in 1887 and her sister, ALICE ROBERTS b. 1889 London, England. They were sent to Canada from a London orphanage sometime around late 1890's.

ALICE married JAMES G. R. YOUNG in Feb 14 1911 @ Drummond Court, Lanark County, Ontario. He was a farmer and his parents were ADAM & MARGARET YOUNG of Drummond County.

I think James YOUNG had some connection with the town of Osler, Saskatchewan.

EMMA was one of the witnesses at the wedding and her residence is shown as Carleton Place. The other witness was John Walbeh or Walker of Drummond.

Can anybody advise please.

Ferris Family

bbfan — 24 Mar 2008 2:32:10 GMT

I have recently discovered that my GGG-Aunt Mary-Ann Rutledge (b abt 1846, Ireland) married a James Ferris on 09 Dec 1867 in Ontario.

They had several children before Mary-Ann died in childbirth with her son, Thompson Dymus Joy Ferris, b 25 Feb 1884 - Ontario. It seem that Thompson moved to Saskatchewan and requested a record of his birth while living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The date of the request was June 1952. I haven't been able to find any information about him - married, children.

The only other living child I have found is their son,Robert, b 30 Sep 1872, Ontario who married a Maud Y Herron and according to the 1911 census, they had 5 children while living in Battlefield, Saskatchewan.

The children were:

Ferris Liota, b. Jun 1902
Ferris Vivian, b. Dec 1903
Ferris Verna Merl, b. 06 Jan 1906,
Ferris Telford W R, b. Jan 1908
Ferris Enid, b. Dec 1910

This is a totally new branch for me, so this is all the information that I have on them.

Searching for Genealogy... John Brown married to Martha Harris, children were Cora Belle, Annie, Lizzie (Lillian), Ida, Goldie,

John Brown was from Arkansa, he bought a Homestead in mullingar from 1913-1927...don't know where he went next. He was married to Martha (Armond or Armor) Harris. She died Arp 8, 1945, burried in North Battleford.

They had children named Cora Belle (married John Hord), Annie, Lizzie (Lillian), Ida, Goldie (Florence), Laura, Julian.

After John passed away (don't know when or where) it is said that Martha was said to have 18 children altogether. Either beofre or after he passed away.

Delmas Cemetery

MichaelBeausoleil — 31 Jan 2007 10:54:01 GMT

I am looking for a map of the plots of the old Delmas Catholic Cemetery that was used from May 1911 to 1950. This cemetery is located on SE 7- 46-18 w3 which is one half mile north of the present day hamlet of Delmas. A lot of bodies were exhumed from this gravesite and moved to the present day graveyard.
Of interest to me is three people that were buried there.
1) William Beausoleil d. Oct 30 1945
2) Leroy Virgil Beausoleil d. May 26 1946
3) Joseph Henry Beausoleil d. May 26 1946

I have been to visit this graveyard and can find no markers. The Diocese of Prince Albert has no records of this grave yard even though the Oblates didn't turn over the care of the cemeteries until 1987 to the Hamlet. No maps are available from the hamlet or RM of Battle River.
I am also looking for copies of obituaries for these three men. Maybe someone has a family member that has a copy in an old shoebox. Thank you

Dean family from Ontario, homesteaded in Plenty, Hawarden from around 1904

bonny20 — 17 Feb 2007 6:41:32 GMT

Can someone do lookups for me in Saskatchewan Archives or any other place that you are aware of. I am looking for John langman Dean(or Deen), Jabez Smith Dean(or may be Smith Deen) and James Albert Dean(Deen). These men moved to Saskatchewan around 1904 or 1905 with their parents Jabez Smith Deen and Eliza. They were all there in the 1911 census. I am trying to locate descendents of John, James and Jabez junior. I have the Homestead records but I do not know where they went after 1911. I do not that they had sister Letitia who married a Howe and she is buried in Hawarden Cemetery.Another sister Mildred is probably also buried around Hawarden. The father was born in 1838 and was 73 in the 1911 census. John Langman Dean was listed in Biggar Saskatchewan on the Homestead records. I believe that Biggar is now probably part of Saskatoon.If anyone knows of Dean families that originally came from Ontario(especially the Hastings County area ) please let me know. Originally, the name was spelled Deen but often they were also listed as Dean. I am involved in a y DNA project and would like to find some male Dean members.

Brackenbury in Cut Knife

Dianenault58 — 22 Jun 2001 11:16:21 GMT

hello,

I am new to Sask. researching and I hope someone will be able to guide me, as to what to do next.

We have it from many sources that members of our brackenbury family immigrated to Cut knife. We don't know exactly when, but they were born 1873-1881, so we will guess early 1900,s maybe. The names I have are Richard taylor brackenbury, Hubert,and Frederic, we are told Frederic died shortly after arriving. Now the difficult part is what do I look at since I have no dates?? Are there any city directories? I know that Richard died after the 1950's since he made a trip to England. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me personnaly.
Thank you very much

I am seeking information to complete a Halter Family history regarding Kasper Elder born Feb. 2, 1856 in Russia and died Nov. 17, 1933 in Revenue Sask. Kasper is said to be a half brother to my Grandfather, Engelbert Halter, as well as a half brother to Anton Halter and Joanna Tuchscherer ( Halter) of Tramping Lake. Kasper immigrated to Sask in 1906 from North Dakota along with his wife Catherine Senger and about 8 children as well as the Halter siblings, Anton and Engelbert Halter and Joanna Tuchscherer ( Halter). I am especially intertested in who Kasper's mother was and if the name of his father is known. I have a few different names of Kasper 's parents but no real proof or anything that has been confirmed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. These names have a direct relationship as information indicates Kasper's mother may also have been Engelbert's mother. Thank you!

Leonard Campbell Lee

donnapaul50 — 29 Dec 2006 3:45:21 GMT

Looking for any information on Leonard Lee.
He was born in 1899 or 1898, he was born in Canada,he resided in North Battleford in 1927,occupation tailor.If you have any Saskatchewan family histories and wouldn't mind checking for this name,it would be appreciated.
This man was my grandfather.So far I have found no record of him in North Battleford and would like to branch out in other Saskatchewan cities.
Reason:my mother was placed in an Orphanage in 1927.Three weeks ago the Manitoba Post Adoption Registry was able to give me limited information on her birth father.We thought his name was Leonard Cambly(I have searched for this name for years) They were able to verify his middle name was Campbell and his last name started with an L and was short.
I am guessing Lee or Lea.
No luck with any census verifications,directories of North Battleford or Regina.Online births,deaths,I would appreciate any advice on where else to look .
Many Thanks

Carl Algot Borgeson/Beckman

svenmarkus — 14 Dec 2006 6:25:21 GMT

I'm trying to find more about Carl Algot, born 24 Jan 1893 in Landa, Halland province, Sweden. He was the son of Borje August Andreasson and had the surname Borjesson before leaving for the US in 1912. There he probably changed to Borgeson, Borjeson or perhaps Beckman (which his cousins in Minnesota used).

As far as I know Carl was alive in 1952 because that's when he visited relatives in Minneapolis. According to some family sources Carl was married to Gurine and had children Ernie, Ingolf and Darrel. The latter may still be alive.

If anyone who recognizes these people please let me know!

Finding the author of an old message

jburns7600 — 20 Oct 2006 4:33:34 GMT

In November & December of 2002 Linda S. and myself were trying to find some grave locations in a Battleford cemetery when someone replied with this message;
"I am currently doing research regarding the St. Vital church in Battleford as part of my MA degree in archaeology and I grew up in the Battlefords'. I have an old map of the catholic section of the town cemetery (dated 1910) that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince Albert let me photocopy for my research. What is the name you are looking for??? I could check on the map for you and let you know."
Of course I asked if s/he could look up a name.
The "I" who had the copy of the map never replied. Does anyone know who that person is and how to get in touch with them? If you go back and look at the message you will see that the author space is blank. I've never seem a blank one before.

Basile Lafond Sr.

Dee Johnston — 11 Jul 2002 2:18:41 GMT

I am looking for information on Baslile Lafond Sr. His parents are Amable Lafond married to Marie Racette. Basile is one of their many children. My family tree has him married to Isabelle Durand. Other research shows him married to Elizabeth Dumont. More research fails to come up with either women's names...but I have found an Isabelle Elizabeth Dumont from around the same time area. Family gossip tells that the Dumonts moved to Battleford SK and changed their name to Durand, then later back to Dumont. I'm wondering if these two women are one in the same.
