Were Edith and Mr Lawn divorced? I see 2 voyages to Canada for the son (1946 and 1949) but Edith's surname appears to be Kiesel (or variant),

Are you sure 1992 is your Hannah?

I don't see any Lawns in Regina in the 1950s

Well I lost the plot a bit there.

No 1952 entry
1955 shows: Kiesel Norman (Edith) PO h 2833 23 Ave

They don't show the "Key" page, but the usual format is
Name occup employer [e.g., P(ost) O(ffice)] h(omeowner)[alt=r(enter)] address
