Looks like John Minns remarried

Ontario births has him born on Feb 17 1876  in Sandford, Scott Twp.   Parents George Minns and May Carruthers (family search transcriptions says Ramuthan)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-Y3SW-TLR

The marriage record says John Minns was born in Sandford....

John Minns born 17 Feb 1876 died in New Westminster BC on 17 Nov 1945.  Family search says his parents were George Minns and Mary Carruthers.  Wife was Mary Elizabeth Lee

This is possibly John and Mary in 1911 in New Westminster.  There is a daughter Marjorie, born in Alberta in 1906

If I get a chance, I will check the Uxbridge library to see if there is a Minns family file.

Looks good keyboard

I think this is Mary Elizabeth Minns (nee Lee) ... death in Port Coquitlam B.C. Feb 2 1941.

It would be interesting to find out where John Minns and Mary Elizabeth Lee were married... Did he say he was a bachelor??

   The only problem is that David Paul/Poll occ Boot/Shoemaker b Norwich seems to "Reappear" 1901/1911 and an Ancestry tree gives him in Workhouse for many years?

When Sophia Paul married Charles Leopold Escott 9th March 1891 her father David Paul occ Boot maker was deceased?

No marriage registration in Ontario.  Child born in Alberta.  Perhaps married there.

Reference to John moving from Port Coquitlam to New Westminster which names his daughter, Mrs. R. Harkness and two grandchildren:
