Hi lovely people,
I'm looking for any possible information on David Lockhart who married Lillian Emberly in Manitoba 19/02/1930. Lillian Mildred Emberly was born in 1909 and was adopted sometime between then and the 1911 census so I've hit a dead end there, but I do know that she married David in 1930, and that he died in 1965. What I don't know is when he was born or who his parents were. There were a couple David Lockhart births in the Manitoba Vital Stats, and I have no way of knowing which one is him. Would anyone be able to help? I can't afford to pay for ancestry right now or I would try there..
Thanks!

Hi,
The marriage took place in R.M. Rockwood. His obit says he was born in Greenwood, which
I think is incorrect, it should be Rockwood.
There is a birth Oct. 8, 1897 in R.M. Rockwood for David Lockhart, mother Joan Campbell.
http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php
I think this is the family in 1901 R.M. Rockwood, as transcribed.
Lockhart, James, 46, farmer
Lockhart, Joan, 45, wife
Lockhart, James, 17, son
Lockhart, Rankin, 15, daughter
Lockhart, Farlie, 13, son
Lockhart, Christina, 12, daughter
Lockhart, William, 8, son
Lockhart, Bithea, 6, daughter
Lockhart, David, 3, son

According to the 1921 Selkirk, Manitoba census
Rockwood Municipality, image 11 of 22
Joane Lockhart, head, age 65, born Scotland, Farmer
David Lockhart, son, age 23, born Manitoba, Farmer
Rockwood Municipality, image 5 of 22
Living with adopted parents Allen and Mary:
Lillian Mildred Emberly, age 12, born Manitoba, parents born England
Since David was living in the same town as Lillian, could this David be a possibility?
Update: above posted prior to reading DB's entry. It appears that the family could be the correct one. Great find with the place of marriage, DB. :)

Fantastic! You are all awesome, thank you.
I had assumed that the 1897 David Lockhart was the correct one, but I was hoping to find his obituary or something to confirm that he's the same one who died in 1965, is anyone able to find that? If I could just confirm the year he died I'd know for certain that it's him. I'm pretty sure already though. If not, oh well. Also way to go on the death record of his brothers! Thank you so much for sharing that, I hadn't seen it yet!

Sometime between John b. 1880ish and James b. 1883ish , they emigrated to Canada.
I think Ladyhawk :) meant the 1881 Scotland census.

Hi,
I think David served in WW1, here are his attestation papers, gives NOK as mother Joan.
A very odd signature for David. ??? And oh so slow to load. :P
http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/first-world-war-1914-1918-cef/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=534747
Library and Archives Canada are in the process of digitizing WW1 service files whereby you can
see the complete service file for free. At the moment they are on the letter L, so hopefully not
too long before David's becomes available.
Cheers,
DB

Hi,
I think that there is more than one error in David's obituary. Sister "Mrs. W. Rankin" is actually
Mrs. W. Hepburn. Rankin C. Lockhart married W. (William James) Hepburn in 1908 Stonewall, Manitoba.
http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php
1916 Canadian Census, Saltcoats, Melville, Saskatchewan
Hepburn, William James 36, b. Ontario
Hepburn, Rankin age 29, b. Manitoba
Hepburn, Melville, age 7 (hmm...wonder where they got that name from ;D) b. Sask.
Hepburn, Elmer age 5, b. Sask.
Hepburn, Gladys age 3, b. Sask.
