- Today I received a letter from somebody in New Zealand, in which she
- asked for my help in finding a long-lost relative. Presumably she
- does not have access to Internet, so I am posting this request on her
- behalf... please reply to me and I'll forward what information I receive
- back to her.
-
- To get to the details, she has inherited an address book that belonged
- to her grandparents. In it is recorded the following:
-
- J. Pike, 44 Wolfe Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec
-
- It seems that this person had a prior address in Sherbrooke (this address
- being crossed out but still readable):
-
- c/- Mrs Haghurst, 22A Wellington Street, Sherbrooke
-
- I do not expect that anybody who reads this will know who these people
- are. Hence I would like to request that anybody with access to a
- telephone directory for Sherbrooke to send me a list of Pike (and maybe
- also Haghurst, if there aren't too many) entries.
-
- I would also be thankful for any addresses of Anglican Churches in
- Sherbrooke... I don't know that J. Pike was Anglican, but it is believed
- he had emigrated from England, which makes this somewhat likely.
-
- While I'm at it, could I also ask for the address of the local land
- registry office?
-
- Finally, any suggestions regarding who else might be contacted in
- Sherbrooke would be welcome.
-
- Thanks, David.
