Archibald Wilson Sinclair - Aberdeen
« on: Monday 21 September 20 14:27 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Tracing more people again.... appreciate any help

Archibald Wilson Sinclair, born approx 1904 in Aberdeen

1924, Marries Jane Mary Falconer Benzies Stewart

1943, Jane killed by a Bullet injury during Aberdeen Blitz

Archibald may have been in the Pioneer Corps, during the war. Was at one point a fish buyer.

He died in Vancouver in 1979, so looking to see when he travelled from Scotland to Vancouver.

Cremated and casket not buried until three years later?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There are two Archibald Wilson Sinclairs

The father, born 1904, son born 1926

So death / Burial may be for two different family members

Another thought, he Died at son-in-law's house in Vancouver.  So assume this was daughter Isabel that was in Vancouver. Perhaps he was visiting in 1979?
