Hi Paul, I had another thought about Viola Galvin and, while it's not important, it tells you a bit about her life. I remember her visiting my aunts quite a bit and it was always in the company of a Mrs. Busby (first name forgotten). Mrs. Busby, if my memory is correct, ran a rooming or boarding house on Kent Street in Ottawa. I'm pretty sure that Viola lived with her. This would have been in the late 40's and into the 50's and I recall Viola as a small woman with greying hair that might have been red. As I say, this is all very minor but I always like to know what my ancestors were like.
