Thanks Sandra, great to have the obits. I do have the other census information but have not found the marriage to Edwin Hall Thomson, I wonder if they did marry. To add to your background Margaret Catherine Dodd was the daughter of one Abraham Dodd (1855-1926). Abraham Dodd was a hero of a mining disaster in Pontypridd South Wales in 1877 (The Tynewydd Colliery Disaster). Abraham was not treated well after the disaster and later in 1884 he took his wife and young daughter to Canada to start a new life. I got involved with Abraham's life story in 2015 through Rootschat. A local (South Wales) author was writing a book about the 1877 disaster and could not find out what had happened to Abraham and posted on Rootschat for information and I developed his family tree and have been involved ever since by being contacted by various descendants of Abraham.
The unfortunate demise of Albert McRae may have been averted but for another unfortunate incident. On the 5th July 1926 Abraham was all packed up and ready to leave his then home in Hillcrest Alberta to go live with his daughter Margaret, but when sat outside his home he passed away. His death was from exposure.
