Hi RedMystic

I don't know if you're still interested in notices in Calgary papers but I've used this site before

Start your happy, happy, joy, joy dance... Here are the death registrations for Dollena Munro and Thomas Munro:

Dollena's death registration indicates she been in BC for 16 years while Thomas' says 32 years - hopefully a clue to when they married.

Oh Jacquie - what a find! Thank you.

In addition to your deductions, the informant is sister Mary which likely means that Dolina didn't have any children.

I'm doing back flips - AND through all of this, I located a photo of the informant sister, Mary's husband & all 5 sons with their bagpipes.

It is truly a very happy day & I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing in my dreams - after everything gets entered in my tree (of course).

Thank you.  :-* :-*

I'm glad I could help. It was quite fun going through the twists and turns.

I noticed on her husband's death registration she signed her name Dollena which matches the entry for her birth in the Saskatchewan vital stats database. I wonder if she went by Dolly

My mum says, "yes" she thinks she did go by Dolly. My aunt says "Nope."  LOL Mind you, they agree that they only remember her visiting his sister, Flora, once.

Two census show her transcribed as Delina.  ::)

Oh well, no worries now. Thanks to you, my lost Dolina / Dollena is found. :-*
