Matthew was my great grandfather's brother, born in Norwich Norfolk UK in 1863. He married Sarah Ann Howard in Norwich in 1887 and they had 2 daughters Annie Emma (1891) and Mary Hester (1900). In 1911, after the Uk 1911 census(!) Mathew (as he spelt his name) took his family and they settled in Amherst Cumberland Nova Scotia where he died in 1955 and Sarah died in 1946.
The 2 daughters married:
Annie Emma married George Burton Milner (1885 Dorchester New Brunswick) in 1914 and Mary Hester married Alfred William Proffett (1885 Hoxton London, in Canada between 1906-1927 and then 1927-?)
I am interested in finding out if possible when Annie, Mary and their spouses died and whether they had children. I realise that any children may still be living. Having looked at Collections Canada I have located the marriage records for the girls and the death records for Mathew and Sarah. Mary interestingly is the informant on Mathew's death and gives her name as Mary Wilde.
Thanks for any help.
Annie Emma Wilde (Milner) of 115 West Victoria Street in Amherst was my grandmother. Her father, Matthew Wilde, was my great-grandfather. My mother, Kathleen Mary Elizabeth Milner, was an only child. My mother just celebrated her 90th birthday earlier this month.
My great aunt was married,as recorded in the thread, but her marriage was annulled. She never re-married.
