I wonder if any of the members of this list would be able to help me trace the death and burial place of this relative. FLORA POLSON, born 11 December 1882 at Marrel, Sutherlandshire, Scotland, daughter of William Polson and Annie Allan. She emigrated to Canada in 1908 on the ship IONIAN and worked in London, Ontario for Mr and Mrs Thomas Baker. (Information on the 1911 Canadian census) She married WILLIAM HERBERT SMITH on 6 September 1911 at London, Ontario. (Marriage affidavit). According to information I have from her niece, Flora made a trip back to Scotland in the 1920s/early 1930s (it may have been when her mother died in 1922 or when her father died in 1934). Her niece was born in 1922 says this visit was "when I was very young" so I am basing the dates on this information. I am fairly certain Flora died in Canada, but cannot find her death date or where she is buried. Flora's sister JESSIE (JANET) POLSON followed to Canada in 1909 and they both worked for the Baker family. Jessie was married in 1913 to GEORGE ROOME and they lived in Buffalo, USA. Jessie died there in 1949. Can anyone help? Thanks Adair Polson-Genge Aotearoa/New Zealand
Good Morning: As this couple were in their late 20's when they married in 1911, there is a good chance that they did not die before 1932 which is the last available date of death registrations on Ancestry.ca I did search Ancestry, and while there are many persons named Flora Smith, none matched the date or location of birth as your Flora Polson. I also checked death registrations for William Herbert Smith with a birth year of about 1884; again there were many who fit the name, but none who fit. You might try visiting the LDS near you and checking for more current death registrations on microfilms.
