Hi vbain,
Lawrence is a relative I have recorded however I am missing his birth date....
William James Sabiston couldn't be the one I am looking for as my William James died 15 Nov 1979. It however could be another William James I am looking for which I will look into.
Thanks'.....

Hi Susan,
Yes I have searched the vitals many times but thanks for the reply.....
You will see on the post to vbain that my William James and another I just started looking for can get confuseing....

Was William's sister named Catherine and married to a Shorting? If so it appears that Lawrence and William James Sabiston have huge skeletons in their closets. Do you have information regarding this?

Hi Jacquie,
No he never had a sister Catherine..... he was the son of James William Sabiston and Mary McDonald.
The Lawrence that is mentioned is the son of Thomas Victor Sabiston and Lena Wosny. I have no information on a William with a sister Catherine who married a Shorting.....
I will post the information I have on the other William James Sabiston I am looking for on a new thread in a few minutes.

I've found an obituary for William James Sabiston who died 15 Nov 1979 in the Winnipeg Free Press and there is no mention of a wife or children. It indicated he was survived by a brother and two sisters. The names of the surviving brother and sisters matches up with the children listed in James William Sabiston's 1958 obituary.

Hi Jacquie,
I wonder if you could send me the obituary as I have found out that he may have just been living with a woman named May Fidler and that he may not have been married. If that is the case I guess this has hit a brick wall.....
Thanks, Spanish Eyes
-
If you PM me your email address I will send it to you however there is no mention of May Fidler in it.

My email address is on the way and thanks'.......

I see from James' obituary that James and Mary Sabiston had a daughter named Thelma. Do you know if Thelma was ever referred to as May as the obituary indicates her married surname was Fidler.

Hi jacquie,
Her name is Edith Thelma Sabiston and she married a Murray Fidler in June 1942. Edith was William James sister....

I've sent you a PM about the emails I've sent with the obituaries and newspaper articles.
In case you don't have it, Thelma's obituary indicates she had a second husband named Wilfred Spence although they may have been in a common law marriage as her obituary used the Fidler surname for her.

Hi Jacquie,
Yes I have them and will go through them all and see what I have to work with. I never knew Thelma had a common-law and no one else ever mentioned it either so perhaps it was a hush hush.....unmarried in those days and all.
Thanks'.... George

Hi there Spanish Eyes! My name is Brianna and Lawrence Thomas John Sabiston, son of Thomas Victor Sabiston and Lena Wosny (Wasnie, as it's spelled on mine). Lawrence is my Grandfather. I don't know anything about him, but I do have his birthdate which is: 1940-11-16, Selkirk, MB and married a Helen Marjorie Avison.
How are you related Lawrence?
Thank you, Brianna.

Hi Brianna,
Thomas Victor Sabiston is the son of my Great Grandfather James William Sabiston and Mary Young-McDonald. Thomas would be my Grand Uncle and Lawrence Thomas John Sabiston would be my 1st Cousin-Once Removed.
I don't have any information on Lawrence except for what you have given me here except that Lawrence died in Winnipeg on 1994-05-17 and I can't remember where I got that info from.
If you private message me with your email address I may be able to help you with more.
