The privacy laws are quite strict in Canada so Run Kitty has done you proud, trawling newspapers and searching for those obits.

Dudley Gerald Snape seems to have a sister Grace Marguerite Snape born 1894 who immigrates to Canada - Liverpool to Quebec on the Grampain - 1 July 1916. Going to brother manager Hudson Bay Co.

Have you any further info on Grace ? THere is an anc tree which says - passed away 1975 - married - ? Zagar - Toronto  ???

You are welcome Rainbow Rebel :) :)

Thanks Sandra... finally found Agnes (didn't work with her name, so had to be creative).. having a narrow date range really helped.  Would never have found the obit without your help :)

Agnes died suddenly on July 11 1963, while visiting in Chichester England.  Agnes (Kit) Snape, wife of the late Dudley G Snape, mother of Adela (Mrs John Sweetman) and Dudley.  Grandmother of L (the J L from other obits), G, D, J, K and S.  Sister of Anne (Mrs S Wellington of Chichester), Phyllis (Mrs R Williams), Charles Gillies of Penarth, Wales, Andrew Gillies of Detroit Michigan.  Cremation service at Chichester, Sussex, England.

Globe and Mail, 16 July 1963, page 35
