Hi!
Do you have a copy of William Dangerfield's obituary from 1947? It may list survivors/descendants, and Doris' married name perhaps.

The Alberta Genealogical Society has an offline database, an index of many burials in Alberta, not including Calgary and area.
To see what cemeteries have been indexed and when, check out the document called "Alberta Sources"
at  http://abgensoc.ca/databases.html.

I checked this database for the surname Quirk, and found no Joseph.

The John Quirk that passed in 1992, I checked the obituary, passed away Oct 29, 1992 age 66, so too young to be the same John that homesteaded early in Alberta. No mention of who his parents were.

There are vital statistic registers available for viewing at the Provincial Archives of Alberta. It isn't a full collection. They are organized by place name and then chronological after that. Unfortunately, for events that occurred in Clandonald a register doesn't exist. There are more than 2000 registers for places all over Alberta. I always recommend people to check records (or have someone check for you)  before spending money through the Alberta Vital Statistics website.

Canada / Re: Deaths in Canada - Quirk family

Hello,
I live near Edmonton, Alberta and conduct a lot of research here.

There is a Clandonald in Alberta Canada
Clandonald (a.k.a. Wellsdale); 17-53-5-w4; Vermilion River; Hamlet.
I'm afraid I don't know anything about the Colony aspect of it.

There is a mention of the Quirk Family in the book Vermilion Memories II, The Alberta Genealogical Society has a copy of this book.

There is an obituary of a John Quirk in the Edmonton Journal in 1992. Not sure if there is a relation or not.
Cheers!
