Title: 1970 British Columbia Fanny Lier
Post by: Branching out on Wednesday 12 April 23 18:23 BST (UK)
not sure how or where to start but looking to see if a relative is still alive?

Fanny Lier last known address was in 1970
316-2655 Warren Ave
Kimberley, British Columbia.

The only other info I have is she was the niece of a Nora (Finglass) Badgley. Nora was married to Melville Badgley
Nora had one sister named Kathleen Finglass (Maiden name) who I suspect was the mother of Fanny.
Melville passed away in 1970 in British columbia.
Fanny is listed as a niece on Melvilles will. We know there is no Fanny Lier on Melvilles side so she has to be a niece on Nora's family side.
Kathleen was born on July 7, 1901 in Argyle, Manitoba. Not sure who Kathleen married and when Fanny was born?

Wow!!!
Thank you Sandra for all the information. This is a branch of the family I was never aware of! As a matter of fact I don't think any one in the family was aware of the Lier / Odell families.

This has certainly been a mystery.  I have been trying from time to time to make progress with
the missing husband of Fanny.
Maybe I am on the trail - fingers crossed.
