Hi fallleaves

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

I'm sorry but Rootschat isn't a forum for finding missing relatives and friends but for discovering more about our ancestors.

We also have a 'no living people' policy so I've removed some names.

New members are encouraged to read our guidelines for posting which also has links which might help, see 4th paragraph from the bottom.

If you think she may still be in Canada I can move your topic there so that people can offer more general advice.

There was a divorce notice in the 6 Oct 1961 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press indicating Alex Strang was granted a divorce from Lily Strang on 4 Oct 1961. It says they were married 16 Oct 1941 in Winnipeg.

If you could PM me the information about the person you are looking for I can take a look for her in the Free Press Archives. Here's info on how the PM system works:
