Dorothy Violet Wisbey

[ajayr]

I am trying to find the marriage of Dorothy Violet Wisbey and Arthur Warwick Beament in Canada probably 1924-1930 and I think in Ottawa. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I believe that Dorothy Violet died and that Arthur Warwick may have married again in later life.

Unfortunately Canada does not have a Central registries/indexes for BMDs.  Canada has very strict privacy laws and each province imposes its own even further.  Additionally, some provinces are more research friendly than others so researching in Canada can be challenging.  The last available Canadian Census was 1911 apart from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta which was 1916.  As a guide BMD Records are only available for births more than a 100 years ago, marriages 80 years ago and deaths 70 years ago. Trying to trace modern day families in Canada you depend on newspaper announcements, cemetery records, obituaries, telephone directories etc.,

Can't help with the marriage but came across  - Supreme Court of Canada
Beament et al. v. Minister of National Revenue [1970] S.C.R. 680
Date: 1970-03-20.
This seems to indicate they had a son and a daughter.

Also mentioned here as Brigadier Arthur Warwick Beament - 1898 - 1966 Chief of Canadian Section Headquarters. 1st Echelon 21 st Army Group England - North West Europe in 1944.

and probably his brother Brigadier George Edwin Beament

Welcome to Rootschat
See where you got the 1924 ... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/M3Z1-ZS6/p1
I imagine 1930 would have been the birth of the first child, but if married before then, not yet transcribed.
The odd rootschatter did marriage index lookups at one time, but I haven't seen anyone doing it lately for Ontario...( May have been more trouble than it was worth)

I imagine he'd have married in Ottawa, but if a world traveler, may have also taken place elsewhere...
His cemetery listing says "Index only" which I think means he may be buried elsewhere?

* I made an error, this is HIS BROTHER*  Calls himself a bachelor in 1939 on this dispute over taxes ( while away at war) says he married Feb 22 , 1941, in Oxford, England and had 2 children there before 1944
