Thanks for your interest.

I haven't got details here, but she has birth certs. for Sarah Dickenson Belchamber and her brother George Chapman Belchamber.
I can ask for details tomorrow if you wish.

Not sure if these are correct spellings as registered... they vary so much.

[John has 2 lots? L39/L50 - Conc 1 Lot 4 (100ac) & Pt Nilles track (i.e., tract? 80ac)
Also Robert Wickett has 100ac in Pt Nilles - a standard 100ac lot was 20chains x 50 chns NB 80chns=1mile]

If I had to guess, I'ld say John Wickett has wed Sarah - it's pre civil registration, but there might be a church record somewhere.

Having a great time looking at images, not just this family but other names of interest.

HELP Please with the father Arthur's occupation on the birth registration in 1909 of his daughter Violet May BELLCHAMBERS

http://search.ancestry.ca/browse/view.aspx?dbid=8838&iid=VRBCAN1908_102542-01498&pid=2257424&ssrc=&fn=Violet+May&ln=Bellchambers&st=g

He was previously seen as a clerk

Looks like (?)edler. Can't imagine what it might be. Hubby says pedler but certainly doesn't look like P to me.

Looks like he's an excavator on the 1911 Canadian census.

Margee
Thanks for looking....and for hubby's input too.
I thought of pedlar, but like you didn't really see it as that.

Odd to go from clerk to excavator

Thank you for your help.
