Help with a Name

[MollyMay]

Please can anyone help with the name of the girl under Alfred William (from the 1921 Canadian Census - Ontario)


I have snipped a few lines so that there is handwriting to compare.

Thank you.

Sorry the last entry made me smile is it really Sum Sing

Mirtle May?

(One of Dad's sisters was Myrtle but it was also spelled Mirtle)

 

[Libby]

Could it be a distorted Mollie May?

 

[Sis]

Mirtle May came instantly to mind.

 

[MollyMay]

Thank you all - I had thought Millie May, but was not convinced.
To be honest Mirtle never entered my head.
I would have been a strange coincidence has it been Mollie May

 

[Half Hour]

I thought Millie May... My m-i-l was known as Millie and she was a Mildred May...

 

[Half Hour]

Picky thing! wouldn't let me edit.. 1 minute past cut-off!!
Sad to see I couldn't find a birth for her as she was only 11 days old ..If you wait 8 years then maybe you can find out.

Thanks for trying Sue - where can you find Ontario births? This is all new territory for me

 

[Half Hour]

If you are on Ancestry

Thanks for trying Sue - where can you find Ontario births? This is all new territory for me

they can be found under Ontario Births, Deaths and Marriages. Births up to 1913 are now available and you get to see the original recording. Sometimes there is lots of information, sometimes not so much. If not, i can look up for you

There's a marriage for them as well, if you don't have it...May 25, 1916

 

[MollyMay]

Thank You Sue, I do not have Anc World.
If I find one born before 1913 then I will give you a shout - thank you

 

[Findem]

My money is on Mirtle May.

No I do not - would love to know what it says - please

 

[Half Hour]

PM me your email address and I will send it to you...

 

[MollyMay]

Many thanks Sue

 

[MollyMay]

Thank you @Half Hour for all of your help.
I now know what happended to my g.grandma after 1911, and where and when she died. I have probably solved who is in the mystery photo (in my media under an unkown picture HERE ) - my g.grandma and her 2 grandchildren - Alfred and Mirtle.

 

[Sis]

Woo, Hoo

 

[Archie's Mum]

So it’s little Mirtle in the ‘hat’?

Whoops - the photo is 'Person's Unknown'. Mirtle has the stylish boots on

 

[Archie's Mum]

Ahh yes. Quite lovely wasn’t she?
