Annie Sinclair from Petrolia Ontario
« on: Monday 12 April 21 00:45 BST (UK) »
Hi am trying to find out when Annie Sinclair from Petrolia Ontario died and where she was buried. according to the 1871 census she was born in 1865 to Duncan Sinclair and Catherine smith. Her sisters were Jennie and Roxalina. Her parents were buried in Hillsdale Cemetery in Petrolia but I have no record of her there. In the 1949 Petrolia voters list she is listed as a spinster. I haven't found any further record of her.
Thanks for any help
Rodger

Obituary date 29 Sep 1955

I don't have access to the full obituary but I'm sure someone else will come along who can help.

Thanks very much. This is the Annie Sinclair I'm looking for because I know she had a sister Roxie Elliottt that she lived with later in life. Since she died in Petrolia It's likely she was buried in Hillsdale Cemetery with her parents.
Great work, thanks Christmas 53

He/She is a cutie.  Dogs are usually fast learners it is the people that are usually the stumbling block.
