Hi Sandra,

Thanks for your further input.The marriage I think was in 1920 so that makes it about 97 years ago - so presumably is now publicly available?

Alan

Marriage was 1919 Coronation, Alberta - Registration Number 2555

Perhaps the lady who does obit look ups (reply 3) might be able to help with the marriage - worth asking, you never know.

Hi,

Many thanks for the details from the Calgary Herald.

My John Evans did not have a brother Enoch so unfortunately it is not my man.

The name is so common - it is difficult to track him down.

Thank you for all your time and efforts with this.

Alan
