As Kingdom in the Manitoba BMD index.....Edith Mildred was b. 15 Aug 1912 in Winnipeg. MMN Netta(?) Viola Wilson.

There is a marriage in Neepawa Manitoba 07 Nov 1934 for an Edith Mildred Kingdon to a William Archie Mitchell BUT please bear in mind that there was another Edith Mildred Kingdon registered in Manitoba in 1908. You would need to purchase the cert to obtain parents names to be sure unless an obit can be found that gives family particulars.

Husband of Lorna Viola Hanson (Drennar)  - Orville Hanson - Winnipeg Free Press on Jun 04, 2011

Orville Hanson - 1915 - 2011 - On Tuesday, May 31, 2001 at Grace Hospital, Orville passed away at age 95 years from a stroke. He was predeceased by his parents, Jon and Gudrun Haflidson, his wife Lorna (March 14, 2008), four sisters and two brothers, and son-in-law Bob Shields etc etc................................ with family names.

Orv returned to Winnipeg and married Lorna Drennar on July 5, 1946. He worked for Canada Post until retirement in 1976 when he took up golf and enjoyed many fishing outings with friends at Lake of the Woods. In later years he devotedly cared for his wife, Lorna, who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. Orv was a much-loved father and grandfather, who will be missed. At his request, there will not be a funeral service. For those who so desire, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Orv's memory to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Not sure that is the correct Edith  :'(  Is it not the Edith Wanag I quoted above  ??? (Mentioned in the obituary of Lorna Viola Drennar Hanson)

It is this Edith MIldred Kingdon who married William Archie Mitchell -  - Born in Clanwilliam, Canada on 25 Oct 1909 to William Kingdon and Jemima Louise Turner. Edith Mildred married Archie Mitchell. Edith Mildred married Raymond Girling. She passed away on Sep 1998 in Minnedosa, Canada.

This is the obituary for her second husband - Joseph Girling - Winnipeg Free Press on Jan 30, 2004
