Hi,   I can't find anything on my step grandmother, Yvonne Wroe, her birth name was Cherry and I think she came up from the US. she married my grandfather Thomas Wroe after 1937. They lived in Muskoka I know she died in 2002 in Muskoka. I would like to know when and where their marriage was in Muskoka.   And was she born in the US. thank you

Yvonne Cherry/Wroe passed away Galt Ontario 1985.

Sandra  THat's odd that it says Galt where she died. She was in a nursing home in Muskoka for quite a while. And am sure she died there. But how many Cherry/ Wroes are there though. Thank you for this information. Mykin

We all know not to trust all the information given in ancestry trees.  No source for that info either.
You could contact the tree owner to see where they got the information Yvonne passed in Galt.

I knew both Tom, Yvonne, and their son David. I believe David is still living, in Toronto. Tom had a brother named George, who also lived in Muskoka.
