Help with two Winnipeg death dates please
« on: Monday 08 September 14 19:21 BST (UK) »
Good morning Chatters

I've ALMOST broken down a brick wall & I'm hoping you can help me just a bit more please.  :)

Is there a way of searching deaths in Winnipeg mid 1940s to mid 1950?  ??? I just got off the phone with the grand daughter of the following couple and she said they died when she was a young girl so believes it was in that time period. I'd love to find death dates, final resting places, and obituaries for

Dolina or Della M(a)cDonald
Birth 5 Sep 1888 in Wapella, 4-14-01-W2, Saskatchewan, Canada
Death in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

and her husband

Murdo Campbell
Birth 12 May 1884 in Bragar, Isle of Lewis, Inverness-shire, Scotland
Death in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Any help you can provide would be immensely appreciated.

One more note: I think I can see Murdo in the 1963 Voters List so his death date may have been a bit later than the time frame I've been given.  ;) Dolina / Della isn't with him at that point.

Dolina / Della appears to disappear between the 1940 and 1945 Voters Lists.

Hi Red,

Have you looked at phone book under his or her name to see when both goes absent there? If you contact the local genealogy group in Wpg they may be able to assist as well.

Here is an obituary for Murdo Campbell from the 25 Feb 1957 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press. There was another Murdo Campbell who died in 1966 who was born about 1878 who would likely be the one you found on the voters list.

I also found an obituary for Dolina Campbell, wife of Murdo Campbell with the same info as in the other obituary. It was in the 4 Aug 1950 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press. However this indicates Dolina was born in Scotland, not Saskatchewan. As well, her age is out by about 10 years.

Good morning Jacqui & JDC

Thank you to both. This is unexpected. I'm quite sure now that this Dolina isn't my great grandmother's sister as there is no listing in the obit for a Flora married to a Norman McDonald & the Dolina I'm looking for was born in Saskatchewan 4 years after her parents arrival from Benbecula. Heavy sigh. Back to the drawing board.

I'll send the obits along to the grand daughter with whom I spoke the other day & I know she'll be delighted with those.

Thanks again.

Dolina found in 1891 census of Assiniboia East age 3 with father John 38, mother Christina 38, siblings Marion 13, Flora 11, Mary 6, Donald 5 and Grandparents Donald 75 & Catherine 73 Mcdonald.

In the 1901 census of Assiniboia East Brookside the McDonalds with given birthdates are John 4 Jul 1852, Christina Jun 1850, Mary 8 Aug 1884, Dolian 5 Sep 1888, Katie 10 Jun 1891 and Johanna 2 Apr 1893.  Young Donald and grandparents missing.

1906 census of Assiniboia East District 11 Sub-District 25 has John 53, Christina 55, Flora 25, Mary 22, Dollena 18, Katie 15, Johanna 13.

1911 census Quappelle Saskatchewan has John b Jul 1852, Christie b Jul 1850 and Delina b Sep 1888.  Flora, Katie & Johanna likely working for nearby farm families.

1916 census of Winnipeg Manitoba has Christina 66, Flora 35, Dollin 28, Katie 25 & Johanna 23.  John must have died between 1911 and 1916.

1921 census of Winnipeg has Christina 71, Flora 40, Delena 31 & Katie 29.  Manitoba Vitals give deaths up to 70 years ago and there is no listing for Dolina or Christina up to 1944.  Christina would almost certainly have died before 1960, but there is no obit to be found in the Winnipeg Free Press.  No marriage found for this Dolina in the listings which run to 1934.  The Dolina McDonald that married Murdo Campbell did so in 1917.
