Hi Sandra

Thank you.  I have a couple of different birth dates for her too:)

When I click into the Manitoba site, what do I go into to get to the information please?

The Obit is her as she had a son Allan and also a daughter that married a Spraggs, so thank you for finding that.  Norman may have died in 1975?  He must have gone to Scotland as he was born in Ontario.

Many thanks
Kind regards

I don't think Norman died in 1975 - he would have been 114 years old  :) :)  Nice thought.  :) :)

Hi everyone

I've been trying, without success to look for Obits but I'm not sure where to look.

Is it possible someone can find an Obit for an Ila Christine Mcdonald, all I know is she was born on 25 August 1922 in Sashwasken and married  John Arthur Mcdonald before 1944 (when he died.)

John Arthur Mcdonald died in France on 14.8.1944 so I'm not sure if he would have had an Obit?

Also looking for Obits on Edward James Spraggs and his wife Katherine Ann (nee Mcdonald).  All I know is Katherine was born 25.11.1895.

They were married on 12 August 1914 Manitoba.

Many thanks for any help
