Seeking further info on these two names from the Pembina,Windygates,Morden,Mowbray and Darlington area of Manitoba.
Particularly looking for possible "OBITS" of the following:
PAUL COLLINS died 1947 Darlingford and his wife CHARLOTTE ANN (WRIGHT) COLLINS died Aug 18 1918 Darlingford.
A Marriage of: JAMES SHERMAN COLLINS to VERNA VIOLA KEOWN, Nov 4 1925 at Morden.
Both of these were born in the area...James Sherman Collins born Jaul 14 1895 and Verna Viola Keown born Nov 13 1905 in Windygates,
A: THOMAS MARTIN KEOWN and his wife MARY ANN MARTINDALE were married Jan 6 1897 in Morden Manitoba and it appears that their 10 children were also born in the vicinity,Mowbray,Windygates and Mowbray.
Am interested in all of these and willing to share what I do have.
I have gotten the info off the 1901 census as well as I have been able to get info from the Manitoba Database...which I am so pleased with.
Come spring...I would be interested in photos of cemetery stones and could pay a small amount for such.As I know that some of these older folks are buried there.
Thanks in advance!!
