Ooh, good catch! Now we have a rough year of birth.

Just a quick reminder that Newfoundland did not become part of Canada until 1949. Prior to that, it was a colony of Britain.

You have to prove that they are deceased; hard to do since we don't have that info.

The Ancestry version must be different as I have checked the whole manifest and I cannot find her, and the list I'm looking at asks about outgoing passengers' last address (generally in the UK), and not their destination. Generally, if the name is struck out, the passenger was booked to travel, but did not board the ship.

If it was the same guy as the one in the picture. BTW, the correct French Canadian spelling is Bourque (not Bourgue). Can you tell me what ship Felicity came over on in 1946 as I can see the index entry from Findmypast, but I can't find the corresponding entry at Ancestry.

Can't guarantee that he is the right one, but thought it of interest. What regiment was he in?
There is also a database of Canadian soldiers who were members of the Royal Canadian Legion after the war, and whose deaths appeared in the Last Post Magazine. It includes service numbers, so perhaps you can make a match, altho' I couldn't come up with an exact match.

Armagh / Re: Look up please helen Marshall

Most from Armagh would not have been RC. Heavily settled during the Ulster Plantation by Scots and English, so Church of Ireland and Presbyterian.

The marriage record should give his age and the name of at least his father (in full vs. just initials). When you're working with so little, every little bit helps.
