Thanks for all your information you have given me so far. There is another part of the puzzle I need solving.
Esther married Conrad Fetter 5 Dec 1916 Perth, Ontario. According to the obituary of her father, the name given as Mrs G Wroe.
I have been unable to find her after the marriage to Conrad.
Any other information gratefully received.
