Dorothy Bishop of Alberta
« on: Sunday 07 June 09 15:23 BST (UK) »
Seeking descendants of Dorothy Bishop born in Alberta 1915.
I know her parents were (Mary) Lela (also Leila) Bishop and John Wark Bishop, she had a brother George who was killed in the second World War and a brother John - but nothing more.
Grateful for any help.

I think your family is in Calgary East on the 1916 census but under James W. Bishop born Kincardine, Ont., age 38, no employment.  With him are
Lela, 25, born Calgary and children all born in Alberta George 3, John F. 2 and Dorothy 1

Link to George's record for his WWII records and death which indicate his parents were in Victoria.

You can search for the deaths of his parents here
John Wark Bishop died at 98 at Victoria 13 Aug 1971
Mary Leila Bishop died at 83 at Victoria 19 June 1973
Possibility of a death for Dorothy (age fits)
Dorothy Ailsa Bishop died at 22 at Victoria 8 July 1937
