Fantastic! You are all awesome, thank you.

 I had assumed that the 1897 David Lockhart was the correct one, but I was hoping to find his obituary or something to confirm that he's the same one who died in 1965, is anyone able to find that? If I could just confirm the year he died I'd know for certain that it's him. I'm pretty sure already though. If not, oh well. Also way to go on the death record of his brothers! Thank you so much for sharing that, I hadn't seen it yet!

Canada Lookup Request / David Lockhart & Lillian Emberly Any info?
« on: Tuesday 30 August 16 17:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi lovely people,

I'm looking for any possible information on David Lockhart who married Lillian Emberly in Manitoba 19/02/1930. Lillian Mildred Emberly was born in 1909 and was adopted sometime between then and the 1911 census so I've hit a dead end there, but I do know that she married David in 1930, and that he died in 1965. What I don't know is when he was born or who his parents were. There were a couple David Lockhart births in the Manitoba Vital Stats, and I have no way of knowing which one is him. Would anyone be able to help? I can't afford to pay for ancestry right now or I would try there..

Thanks!

I'd love to chat with you. I really wish my nana was still alive, she lived with Ethel and James for a number of years as a child, before they had their own kids. Let me know what you want to know, or you could private message me if you'd like.

Based on the clothing I'd say early 1900's.

Thank you for your replies!

Hmm interesting. Brows as in eyebrows? I'm rechecking the photos I have and it appears both the boys and girls have very light eyebrows, these ones specifically are related to one another so I'm wondering if it's simply a genetic trait to have light coloured eyebrows? I had not heard that boys parted on one side and girls on the other, very interesting. Though most of the photos I am looking at the baby/toddler has no part at all, the hair is simply brushed forward. And the older children seem to have their hair all parted on the same side (the left) boys and girls alike. Though one of the teenage boys has a middle part..

I hope this is the right place for this.

I'm in a group for postmortem photographs. Often a person will post a photo of an infant or toddler who appears to be deceased and everyone automatically assumes it is a girl because the child is wearing a dress. I finally got tired of this and asked someone what made them think the child was female and they had no answer. Anyway another poster commented that you can supposedly tell the child's gender by the part in their hair. I had never heard of this before so I tried some google searches. I haven't been able to come up with anything conclusive. There was one website that claimed boys hair was parted on the side, but there was no citation or sources. And  looking at my own little collection of Victorian & Edwardian photos of children whose gender is known to me, I wasn't able to prove this to be true. I do know that it was somewhat popular for girls to have a middle part as Queen Victoria did, but I'm not sure I would conclusively guess that every child with a middle part is female based on that alone. So I'm looking to you lovely people, what is your experience with this? Is there any truth to this? 

Thanks for weighing in,
