Annie F. Stewart did she go to Canada with her mother and sisters

[*Sandra*]

Not enough information on the passenger lists that I have checked so far to positively identify Annie. Sorry have to nip off urgently.

From the Drouin Collection:

Presbyterian Saint Mathew (Pointe-St-Charles)
Robert Laing of Montreal, son of John Laing of Edinburgh and Jane Scorgie(?) married Annie Stewart, daughter of Andrew Stewart and Sarah Bingham of Edinburgh on 16 May 1913. There is wording in the entry which makes it sound like both Robert and Annie had not been in Montreal for very long at the time of their marriage and it would seem that Annie arrived before her mother.

Haven't found Annie's death yet but found the following
Mary  a widow married Robert Graham 7 March 1916 and died in Vancouver  1954

Sarah her sister married William Cowern 24 December 1913 in Vancouver and  died in Vancouver in 1945

Sarah had a daughter Mora in 1907 in Edinburgh Scotland on 1911 census she is Mora Stewart but on her marriage to Reginald Messenger in Canada on 4 July 1924 she is Mora Smith and her father is Albert Frederick Smith.
Sarah ms Bingham Stewart mother of Mary and Sarah died in Vancouver in 1920.

Any other help to find Annie's death much appreciated.

Perhaps you could ask Vancouver Public Library if they could locate an Obituary for Sarah Cowern who died in Vancouver 1945, the obituary might give the whereabouts of any surviving relatives, perhaps Annie  This library is very accommodating and have known replies by return.

Looks like Mora Messenger may have moved after the death of Reginald Messenger 16 December 1964 Vancouver British Columbia. Canada Voters List 1974 shows Mora at 4945 Lochside Drive Esquimalt. Saanich with what could be her son, daughter-in-law and grand-son.  Again Vancouver Public Library might assist with an Obituary for Reginald which could mention in-law relatives.

Obit for Mora Messenger - Obituary was published in the Vancouver Sun newspaper (British Columbia, Canada) on 2 March 1996.
