Thanks Janice m
lots of great info
 i have been trying for ages to find  Theodosia  all the times i have tried elsewhere came up with nothing, i have details of her new husband and children. The only piece missing now is theodosia`s death dates.

She is buried in Moousejaw {1970`s i think?}acording to a relie but no one has been able to find that either.

Many thanks to you for your time and finding my missing link. :) :)

Have looked through some cemetery listings, but she doesn't show yet...
So her married name was Theodosia Johns, correct, as you say you have the information?
More indexing going on at all times, so it may still show one day...
I did find two Theodosia, ( not yours) one in Bienfait & one in MooseJaw, so not an uncommon name.  ;D

Hi j.j. thanks for having a look.

theodosia adams[cooper]  married 1918 estevan
daniel john   b.1886 wales  died 1944 estevan

Have been told by relative Theodosia was buried in Moosejaw not sure how far apart Moosejaw is to Estevan , could it be she was buried with daniel in estevan and not moosejaw.
A lot of people have tried to find her records but no one has found her. I am now wandering had she married a third time also??

Hi j.j   ,  I have sent an e-mail to the cemetary i believe he is in,i hope it is the correct person. Dates are not same but close.
I have been relying on the info past to me,i may have to double check all the info i have.
I know Theodosia`s details up untill her first husband died are correct it`s after he died things go pearshaped :)
