Gertrude McAuley

[willsy]

In Canada a few dates are questionable and the spelling! Gertrude was actually born 1871, all records in Canada are 1877.

among...we couldn't believe it said Miller but they are terrible for not giving the right dates

Thank you Sandra, had missed the other people living there 1958

I was hoping there may be an obituary online which hopefully mentions her son John as he was the informant on the death certificate and also a daughter Ethel who married Leslie Wilkins.

The children are only listed by their first initials and Ethel by her married name. There is a pallbearer listed with the family last name, perhaps one of the grandchildren mentioned?

RJ137, I didn't know she had grandchildren, thank you so much for the 2 articles

This seems interesting. Also, it appears one of the grandchildren was a son of her daughter Ethel.

Oh my, I knew Ethel added 4yrs to her birth date for the marriage but this is all new!

Thank you Sandra and what a beautiful name for the baby.

Do wonder if Leslie is Wesley James Wilkins looking at records I saved for Wesley's family just in case I needed to check my notes, dinner first

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help, I now know so much more about her with your help. It's amazing the picture you build up, the voter's list for 1935 has some of names of the pallbearers as well.
