James Kelly In Vancouver In 1899
Having recently read the timeline of James Kelly's life, I noticed that in the year 1899, he was reported to have gone to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for a year or two before returning to England. I have pored over a few Vancouver newspapers and found the following:

Lizzie Goles, a comely young woman, died in the city hospital on Saturday of cancer. Less than two months ago, Miss Goles left the home of her widowed mother in Montreal to come to Vancouver. Here she was to meet James Kelly, fireman in the Hastings mill. The young couple were to have been married shortly after her arrival. The friends she made during her short life in Vancouver were greatly shocked to hear of her untimely demise.

Police Court. - In the Police Court yesterday, James Kelly, charged with drunkenness was fined $5, or ten days' imprisonment. The eight vags who were arrested, as reported in the Colonist a few days ago, were charged with being in possession of stolen property and remanded until tomorrow. The goods found in their possession consist of goods stolen from S. Reid and the Patterson Shoe Company.
