Maggie Bella Yule m John Mitchell Duncan
« on: Wednesday 21 November 18 13:24 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I have found this marriage in Ancestry Maggie Bella Yule m John Mitchell Duncan 10May 1934 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I was wondering if anyone has access to the full marriage record and could provide me with details?

I am also interested in any further information on Maggie (who I believe later may have been known as Bella Duncan later on). Particular interest to me as I have a S. Duncan who is an extremely high match, with me, for 2nd cousin on Ancestry DNA. I have tried contacting her via Ancestry but had no reply, but I believe she may be one of Maggie and John's descendants and therefore am interested to trace the genealogy. I suspect our common ancestor is Maggie's father William Dunbar Yule (1864-1941), my great grandfather.

Maggie was born 04 Jul 1901 Mintlaw, Longside, Aberdeenshire

Kind regards

Roy

Thanks, that’s a great start. Do you have access to Canadian passenger lists as it looks like John Mitchell Duncan arrived 15 Nov 1931 and I wonder if the list has more details about him.

There is an RAOGK volunteer in Winnipeg - might be worth an e-mail - no feed back on this one so cannot be certain of the level of help.
