Notices of Births, Marriages, Deaths & Obituaries From Methodist Newspapers 1830-1890
By Donald A. McKenzie

Volume 11 - Obituaries From The Christian Guardian, 1891 to 1895 

The material is a transcription of death notices and obituaries as well as data gleaned from the news sections of The Christian Advocate. The deaths listed, occurred across Canada.

The alphabetical format of the main part of these volumes will enable you to quickly find any of your ancestors whose vital events (birth, marriage, death) were reported in the Methodist newspapers from 1830 to 1890. Oftentimes the events were previously reported in other newspapers and periodicals. Those newspapers are recorded as sources. That means that researchers may find additional information in the cited newspaper than that that was repeated in the Methodist newspapers and periodicals that were transcribed by Mr McKenzie. Also of note is that some volumes also contain vital events records for people of faiths other than Methodist. 

Mr McKenzie's detailed and informative introduction to this work, provides the reader with all the information necessary to understand and use the material.

There is also an "Index of People" in the individual volumes. In this cross-reference index you will find the names of people with surnames other than that of the primary person who are mentioned in the announcement. This includes maiden names of married women, names of parents-in-law and sons-in-law, sometimes, names of maternal grandparents etc. By using this index, you may be able to establish connections between your family and the people featured in the notice.

The author expended much labour in the preparation of the "Index of Places", which includes locations in Canada, the USA, Britain and other countries, that are mentioned in the notices. By using this index, you may be able to establish patterns of immigration involving your family and their friends and neighbors.
