Dunbar - Winnipeg/Vancouver

[bannatyne]

I am looking for any information on an Elizabeth Paterson Dunbar aka Bessie.  Elizabeth was born in Glasgow in April 1907 and emigrated to Canada in 1909 with her uncle James Dunbar.  She is listed on the 1911 Canadian Census in Winnipeg   I assume she is now deceased so any information to help me complete this and fill in the blanks   Thanks

James DUNBAR's death cert can be found by searching here:

The informant is an Elizabeth daughter. Would that be "Bessie"? And can anyone take a shot at her surname???

Elizabeth's father was John Dunbar 1847-1920 and her mother was Catherine Dickson 1876-1917. Catherine had three children to different fathers. Joseph b 1897 Elizabeth b 1907 and Donald b 1913

Yes noticed a tree with her parent's names John Dunbar and they have a Catherine McCabe ?  :
You found her Maureen in any more electoral rolls ? I can only get her in 1949 maybe she married again ? just to confuse things ...Will have a look later tea time
