Hello to you all,
I hope I've posted this in the right place..
I finally recieved the download death certificate for Amy.
She WAS married to Edgar, in New Jersey! (20 years her junior).
What a mysterious man, marrying Amy after her 1st husband died (and perhaps fleeing Egypt to do so).. then marrying Elizabeth the same year Amy died.
He was buried with Amy in 1942.
Thanks so much to you all for your time and help!
- Oh, and Maddy, I'll never get anything else done now that you've shown me how to read even more old papers..
Absolutely love it!

That's great to have confirmation! Very interesting family, now to try to find something on Edgar's family ...

That's been tricky.. No record of his birth in Scotland under Thompson-Boyd.. Unless he hyphenated his own name.
I did find a Georgina Thompson Boyd born Glascow 1861, but no further details.
Edgar died 1942 im Vic, aged 79. A notice was put in the paper by his cousins Annie and Grace.
His death certificate says he was born in Scotland.
I love solving the puzzle! ;D

I was wondering about those cousins Annie and Grace, tracking them down may provide some clues. Though very difficult as I don't think there is a surname is there :-\
