Wow! Thanks for the info. Where can I go to verify?

Hi, Most of the info was taken from Ancestry.com family tree site,also from the Family Search site that is run by the Mormon Church. The 1901 Canada Census was on the Ancestry site too. The marriage record for William Babb and Eliza Jane Barrett was from Ancestry.com Another site I used was the British Columbia Archives online search site that has birth,marriage and death records etc.

Hi. It helps a lot! Thanks again.
