Suffragette, Mary Raleigh RICHARDSON, 1882-1961 Canadian family ???

Suffragette Mary Raleigh RICHARDSON, 1882-1961 Canadian family ???
Can her Canadian background be verified?  Belleville, Ontario?
There may be some doubt about the stories that Mary told about her background and her suffrage experiences and achievements...

Where does she fit into your Family History?  If no connection - what is your interest in her?

Have you found her on the Canadian 1891 census?

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1583536

Why do you doubt she was Canadian if everything else says she was?  If she was b 1882/83 she was rather young to travel from Canada to France in 1898

You can also look for Canadian births here

Have you found her on the 1939 register which should show her full birthdate?

Great find, Sandra!

If it wasn’t already mentioned above, a Richardson and a Purkins are on the Hastings(?) 1891 census.  (Sorry for no additional details; I already closed the page).
