Its great to see an old thread revived after 10 years, so much more information available since June 2010.

You may already have some or all of the obits for this family in those 10 years but can post a few for you.

Thanks.  I should have said that I have this info.  I'm specifically looking for a date in 2004 when Mary died.  Online trees say she died in Vancouver, but I've searched newspapers for an obit but not found one.  Of course, she may have remarried after Leonard's death.

Is this the Mary you seek.

GIBSON, Mary   30May2004   Vancouver Law Courts   042021   04Aug2004

The first date is her death the last date when the probate file was created.  There is another Mary Gibson who died in 2004 if she lived in Kamloops.

Not sure that is the correct one Don - this is the find a grave entry for the one you show - husband was Gordon Gibson.

Mary (Mollie) Carlaw/Gibson was born 18 July 1913 - Wardley, Durham so if she died in 2004, she would be the grand old age of 91 years. Perhaps she remarried
