Mancel Lloyd McMillan died 9 th May 2005 - wife of Olive Mae (nee Gullacher) -

Melvin Samuel Mcmillan  28 Jan 1907  died  Jun 1989 - Surrey South-Eastern, Surrey, England.

IF there were only 3 brothers - Lancelot is probably the one that died young  ???

There is a death in the Manitoba indexes for a Lancelot who may be yours. You can search for the death at this link.....tick deaths and put in his name.

Hi,

Great find Polarbear...  I can see a short notice in the Brandon Daily Sun on Aug 23, 1919, page 3.  It talks about the accident.  Lance McMillan was 13, and the son of Mrs Dora McMillan of Neepawa.  He was driving a team of horses, pulling a cultivator.  The team got loose and he was thrown in front of the cultivator.  The accident was on Monday, and he died in the hospital on Tuesday.  He was very badly injured.  The accident happened on the farm of a Mr Wallace, 2 miles north of Arden.

Hello Grace.

At that website.....

Tick deaths
Put Mcmillan in last name box
Put Lancelot in first name box

This will bring up the record with some info. You will have to order the certificate to get any further details. If you click on "detail view" you will see what other info may (no guarantees) be included.
