Many thanks for posting all that detail Catherine! And also for your other note of appreciation. It's good to have our work recognised from time to time as it sort oif makes it all worth while.

You wrote "She (Grace) died June 17, 2003 and was buried June 19, 2007 in Ottawa, Ontario." I have changed the first date to 2007 as you said previously. I hope that's right.

Best Wishes

Mike

sorry the 2003 as correct -she and her husband died in the same year just months apart

PS I can provide all the same detail for Samuel and the others if you want it

Yes that would be great. Please note details of living people don't appear in the on-line database.
