Something strange

Died 26.9.1979
Buried 29.11.1982

Indeed  :-\ Burial date would need to be confirmed. Maybe an indexing error on Find A Grave?

Alan, just seen there is an online tree for this line on Ancestry. Son Archibald's dates on this are given as:

Birth 11 OCT 1926 Aberdeen St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Death DEC 2005 Stroud, Gloucestershire, England

No mention of a daughter Isabel, but there is mention of a son Edward:

Birth 5 MAR 1925 • Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Death 28 JUN 1979 • Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

From this, Stanley looks to have died a few months before his father? His death is also listed on the British Columbia, Canada, Death Index, 1872-1990

A nice photo of Stanley and his wife Margaret available on the online tree.

Hi Monica

thanks for that.

my free trial has ended, so I will see if funds allow me to look at Ancestry.

I'm starting to wonder if Isabel is the Daughter in law.

Doesn't look to be it seems. Stanley's wife was a Margaret Findlay (1928 -1978).

This couple's marriage as showing on SP:

Stanley SINCLAIR and Margaret Findlay

168/2 17
Aberdeen Southern District

Where does the reference to an Isobel come in, Alan? In what context?

Added: Son Archibald Jnr married a Peggy M Pegler in England in 1954.

the informant is daughter (name removed). Looks like she married William George STARKS 1945 Aberdeen Southern.

Not sure about the children.

I'm getting a little uneasy,though. Are they all deceased?

Hi Maureen

No idea.

Appears Edward ,Archibald (jnr) and Stanly all are.  Unsure about Isabella, in which case she may be in Vancouver aged around 92

The aim is to account for the children they had, 3 or 4.  Don't plan to detail names unless I can check all deceased.
