Could some kind soul give me the information on the following lady:

Ethel Mernagh death record, Canada.

This lady is my great-great aunt, and left England for Canada in 1922.

Many Thanks for your help.

T,

Thank you so much, my lady was born 1890/1, so this is her and she had a sister Norah, who I didn't know had moved out to Canada!!

So I think I will have to start paying for the worldwide package so I can find further info on these 2 ladies.

Again thank you.

Further to this, I am Nora(h) Scheik's (Mernagh) grandson. She married my grandfather in 1911 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Ethel, her sister made a number of trips back and forth - England - Canada - England. I had the privilege of meeting her a couple of times... I remember being told that she had passed away but I do not know where (not in Canada) I will ask family and post.

Hi Chicola, and welcome GR

As you may have noticed, this thread is 3 years old.

In case Angela no longer checks it, you could send her a message by clicking on her name. Assuming she is still using the same email address, GR will notify her that you are trying to make contact.

Hope it works out
:-)
