Canada Lookup Request / 1970 British Columbia Fanny Lier
« 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?

Canada / Dora POst last seen Ottawa 1960's
« on: Friday 05 March 21 17:44 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for the death of a Dora Post/ Smith/ Shaw

Why so many names, briefing:
Dora Amelia Post b: mar 12 1917
married Arthur W. Smith  on Dec 09 1935 Manitoba
Left him and family to marry a Ronald Shaw in 1946
Dora Left Ronald and family to go to Ottawa sometime after 1952.

This was sent to me by a family member recently.

"What we do know is that Dora left Ron Shaw and that she was in Ottawa, she had contacted her mother Sarah as she needed money to pay her rent, Sarah sent her some money for her rent but it was never picked up and it was eventually returned to Sarah. I do not know the exact timeline of these events, they were told to me by my sister Florence; however since Sarah passed away in 1966 my best guess is that it happened in the years just prior to Sarah’s passing. No one really knows the time of her passing but most think it was around 1965."


Really all I'm looking for is to find her death and possible burial?

Any help is appreciated.
