Could somebody please advice me on how to look up marriages in Nova Scotia, Mary Jane Allan born 1902 in Morayshire emmigrated to Nova Scotia, married a Canadian soldier and then she died in child birth. I am looking to find who she married and when she died
thanks Heather

I did a quick look and didn't find anything. Did she marry before or after immigration and do you have a possible date?

Hi thanks for replying, as far as I know she married in nova scotia, I think it would have been in the 1920's or early 30's, I dont even know when she died in childbirth, I will try scotlands people again, just to see if she married in scotland,

There is a marriage for a Mary Jane Allan to Lewis Edwin Graves in King County, New Brunswick on 8 Dec 1919. Mary Jane's parents are listed as John and Margaret Allan and she lists her residence as Morayshire, Scotland and her place of birth as Burghead, Scotland. Here's a link to the image of the marriage registration:

I found a death on 2 Apr 1929 in Moncton, New Brunswick. I couldn't find it at first because she is listed as Jean Mary Graves however her parents are listed as John and Margaret Allan and the informant was Lewis Graves. Here's a link to the image:

In future, please don't create multiple threads on the same person as it leads to a duplication of efforts. Thanks. Here's a link to the other thread regarding Mary Jane Allan:
