Hello,
I wondered if any one could help me please?
I am looking into the marriage of Albert Edward Myers 1926, Montréal, the image on ancestry is blurred and incorrectly gives the bride's name as Mary Ann Harris who was in fact the mother in law.
Some people have translated the bride's name as Melissa Pusey but the text is so hard to read I am not sure.
I can't find an Albert Edward, Mary Ann or Melissa Pusey in the 1921 census.
When they married they lived along  Bourgeoys (Bourgious? ) street.
Is there anywhere else I could look please?
Thank you & best wishes, Emma

This looks like the Turvey family in the 1911 Canada census. Same address, 387 Bourgeois. Looks like daughter’s name might be Ila?
