Gilbert McWilliam Caldwell, Prince Edward Island

I suppose that the "Winnifred Jessie" is more likely. I did find it strange at first. Is there a date of that publication and newspaper name?

[polarbear]

Ah yes, of course. I didn't read Winnifred's obit closely enough.

It looks like some smaller print at the center top indicates....

The Guardian Charlottetown Monday September 17 1962

No such luck in finding when Gilbert died? I really appreciate all your hard work from both of you!

I wonder if the W J in the obit for Winnifred might be for Winnifred and the initial of a second name?

PB

Of course!!  I guess I am so used to women using their husbands' names/initials.... "Mrs Joe blogs" etc... in older papers.  I should have noticed that those were her own initials .  Oops.

That would be the Guardian, Sept 29, 1962.

Perhaps you could contact the cemetery and find out when Gilbert died.  I expect he is buried with his wife.  If you can get a date of death, you can check the newspapers for an obituary.  Here is the search page

They have linked the same passenger list as you noted.
?  Have those little green leaves led someone astray or was there a break-up and a second family

Obit for James Gilbert Caldwell

[polarbear]

Another tree has Gilbert's birth as 28 Apr 1905 Johnstone, taken from his father's service record (link is included) and his death as 28 Feb 1983 in Barrie Ontario.

I wonder if there might be a newspaper obit?

It seems very odd that Gilbert wasn't mentioned in Winnifred's obit and I too was wondering if there might have been a break-up of their marriage.
