Mona St Clair Springett marriage record
« on: Monday 31 July 23 10:21 BST (UK) »
Hi helpful folks !
I'm trying to find out whether the parents of  Mona St Clair Springett( b1912  Nova Scotia -d  1831 Toronto Ontario)   were Isabella ( Bella) de Forrest ( 1892-1918) and  Harry William Springett (1890-1953) OR
I have located a marriage record for a Jack  Mason and Eleanor Laing in Ontario .

I can also see a 1945  delayed birth registration for a John William Mason b1881 . Father was William Norman , mother Lucy and his sister Lilly L was the person registering the birth.

I'm not sure that this is "Jack"  Mason because I can see a marriage record for John William Mason and Alma D Laing .
Mona married Charles James Stobbs 1909- 1991 .
 According to the bio ( Mona Stobbs )  on findagrave her marriage record states her parents were Jack and Eleanor, however although I can locate the record of her marriage  to Charles, I can't view the details

I've not been able to locate a birth record for Mona.

Its rather odd ( or maybe just a coincidence ) that
after  Bella de Forrest's death,  Harry William Springett married Alma Mason in 1921 at Halton , Ontario.
I can also see that Harry W , Alma and Mona are   together on the 1921 census


Sorry about the sketchy and somewhat confused  info but my Ancestry membership is the basic UK one so whilst it brings up Canadian records  it blanks out some of the details and I can't actually view the docs .
I started off trying to trace the Stobbs connection back to England as my paternal grandmother was a Stobbs. Then I became embroiled in this.
Some of the info initially came from the Stobbs Grainger Facebook page .

I've looked on familysearch but they don't seem to have the Ontario marriage records .

Any help is much appreciated.

Lewis Gordon Springett - Birth Date   8 Mar 1912 Halton, Ontario, Canada
Father    Harry William Springett Mother    Bella De Foust.

If that was the correct birth for Lewis/Louis, then there should be a female birth - it looks like they were the same age -

marriage of Harry and Bella was 2 April 1912

Yes. I saw this.
Annie Jackson is Mona's  MIL ie the mother of Charles Stobbs. I assumed they'd put that because they couldn't remember her mother's name , but it would have made more sense to put Isabella de Forrest who was Harry Wm Springetts wife as that' s who they've documented as her father? Rather strange.

I'd just added that Alma , Harry and Mona were together on the 1921 census. I noticed that both Mona and Louis ( he's sometimes Lewis ) were born the same year.
