Greetings all,
I was doing a look around online for information on my gg-grandfather
Thomas Bamford, his wife was Violet CARMICHAEL, and came across something
wonderful at the BC archives. My gg-grandfather, aside from being an
architect, traveller, father of 6, was also a painter. I never thought too
much about it, sure we had paintings around the house and I knew of his
teaching Emily Carr (who lived, for awhile, in the same neighbourhood as
Tommy in Victoria for awhile), and so?
Lo and behold I found this webpage of black and white copies of his
works to peruse:
http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/www2m/Visual_Records_Creators?Bam...
I wanted to share this with everyone and also make note of it in the
"carmichael-L" archives for future Bamford/Carmichael researchers. You can
also search for other artists from around BC at this site too. You might
want to check it out, a relative of yours might be archived there too.
Thomas BAMFORD and his descendants:
1 Thomas BAMFORD b. Feb. 4, 1861 Liverpool, England d. 1941. Son of Robert
BAMFORD and Elizabeth HOUGH, both of Preston, Lancashire, England.
Thomas married Violet Jane CARMICHAEL on Oct. 17, 1882 in Victoria, BC,
Canada. Violet was born 8 Sep 1864 in Toronto, ON, Canada. She died 6 Jan
1933 in Victoria, BC. Violet is the daughter of Neil CARMICHAEL (of
Argyleshire, Scotland) and Susannah HOWITT (of England). Violet has, I
believe from census information, at least one sibling named William
CARMICHAEL born abt 1870.
