Dorothy Mary Wilson, divorced, aged 30 married D'arcy Robinson Coupland, aged 45, divorced broker at Vancouver 25 November 1922.
Dorothy's parents is shown as Georgina (nee Hawkings) born Australia and Arthur Nichols, born Bristol, England. Dorothy was also born in Australia.
As there doesn't seem to be BC death records for Dorothy, D'arcy, Georgina and Arthur is it possible they returned to Australia?

Thank you once again Sandra, with your help I have within a few hours found that my husband could possibly have cousins in Canada, if only I had known when we visited Vancouver in the 80s, but then I hadn't started researching our Family Trees. Thomas Wilson who died in 1958, he was my husband's 1c1r.
