Title: Sarah Kincaid
Post by: rewphoor on Sunday 03 May 20 10:58 BST (UK)
I have "lost" one of my great aunts due to the very confused trail she has left behind, can anyone help please. Born Sarah Kincaid in 1904 in Glasgow but known as Sadie. She emigrated to Canada around 1921 . Having initially lost contact with her, her sister Frances and her widowed mother Isabella travelled to Canada later the same year to look for her, and found her in Windsor, Ontario. Having found her, they both remained there.
Now called Sally, she married William Hudson and later Joseph L. Benson but I can find no record of either marriage or her death. in 1928/29/30 I have her living at Jeanette Ave Windsor.

Frances married and I have all her details, but I can find no record of Isabella's death.

Sarah/Sadie/Sally. Kincaid/Hudson/Benson    ??????

Any help would be appreciated

You don't name her parents, but there's a marriage in Essex County in 1927 which may be her:  Sadie Kincaid, aged 23, single, stenographer, b. Coatbridge Scotland, daughter of John Kincaid & Mary McGhee, of Walkerville, married George Sidney Nash, aged 21, single, b. England, of Detroit,  son of Sidney G. Nash & Gertrude Drudge(?), married 16 July 1927 at Windsor.

EDIT:  I see on her passenger record that her mother is Isa(?), so probably not the one noted above.

Online tree has her married later to a Gary Vern Schrock and naturalized in Florida where she passed away in February 1968.  A bit mixed up, but naturalization petition says she was born May 27, 1903 in Glasgow, previous married name was Ball. Indicates that she has no children.

NP.  S ;)

He wasn't married very long as husband died about four months after the marriage.  Online tree has her dying in Florida as Miss Sarah Kincaid (with obit).  Not sure about marriages to Hudson or Benson, and the Ball one likely happened in the US according to another tree.

Her mother's obituary in Windsor in 1950 gives her surviving children including Mrs. D.R. Ball (Sally) of Hamilton, Ontario, Mrs. William (Isabelle) Hudson of Windsor, Mrs. Robert (Jean) Russell & Mrs. Robert (May) Patterson of Scotland, Mrs. Wilson (Frances) of Detroit and son William of Windsor. Perhaps the Hudson marriage is confused for the one to another sister.
Title: Re: Sarah Kincaid
Post by: eileenwilson on Sunday 03 May 20 12:38 BST (UK)
Obituary for her brother William in 1969 names his sister as Mrs. Joseph (Sally) Benson of Fort Lauderdale so the obit for the Miss Sadie Kincaid in Florida in 1968 is likely incorrect.

Obituary for Joseph Benson of Florida in November 1977 names his wife, Sally Benson, and two sons, Arnold of Chicago and Harry of Liverpool, England.  He was 79 years of age, so born about 1898.

Wow!  many thanks for all of this information. It would appear that there has been a bit of confusion between members of the family and their marriages. Sarah had a sister Isabella but I wasn't aware that she had gone to Canada and any reference I have to Isabella may relate her sister rather than her mother. I need to sit down and go through all of this and then regroup!

Thanks again - this is terrific.

Very many thanks indeed for all the help you have given me which has helped to clear up the confusion. It appears that, unknown to me, Sadie's sister Isabella was in Canada before Sadie. Her sister Frances and mother,(another Isabella), went out to join her. Sadie's mother was Isabella Colville widow of William Kincaid and she used to travel between the three sisters across the U.S/Canada border. Still more info to find but this has helped enormously.
I had been looking in Canada but now find that most of them ended up in Florida (and why not!)
Thanks again.
