Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Birth of Ivy CALDWELL abt 1891

It is looking like a needle in a haystack.  How did Janet Brown meet William Caldwell before they both travelled to Canada to marry?  Presumably she went to him as his ship had docked there.

There is some confusion with too many William Caldwells and Marys. 

William Caldwell b 1824 writer/clerk and father of WC the mariner married Mary Wilson (1837-72). They had one child, WC the mariner. On her death he married Mary Mathie (1841-1916 and a cousin of MW). They had two children, James and Edith Helen.

Mary Wilson's mother was another Mary Mathie (1811-89). And a Daniel Mathie (1818-53) married a Mary just to introduce another Mary Mathie.  So lots of family trees have got this mixed up, along with Anc hints.

Wonder if the mariner died at sea? Although still alive getting married in 1900 after his father had died.

Prob a typo but William Caldwell was born 1834 not 1824.

How to Find Death Notices on FamilySearch:

Search Historical Records: Use the main search page and filter by "Death" type or search specifically within newspaper and obituary collections.
Explore Specific Collections: Look for dedicated collections like "United Kingdom, Funeral Notices" or "British Newspaper Archives, Obituaries," often linked from country or state pages.
Use the FamilySearch Catalog: Search by place and subject (e.g., "Obituaries") to find digitized books or microfilms.
Check Family Tree: Search for the person in the Family Tree and look at their Sources, Memories, and Brief Life Sketch for notices.
Key Collections & Tips:
Newspaper Archives: FamilySearch partners with sites like GenealogyBank and FindMyPast for vast newspaper content.
Find a Grave/BillionGraves: These are integrated for cemetery records and often include obituaries.
Specialized Search: Use keywords like "funeral notices," "obituaries," or specific publication names in the search bar.

Chances are that Ivy Isabel ? was not a Caldwell.  Born 1891 and the Caldwell marriage in Montreal 1900.  Ivy may not have been her real name. Nothing showing under Brown either.

There is nothing in the Caldwell line - father William Caldwell passed 1898 (no mentions of family in death notices) - Mother Mary Wilson Caldwell 1872.

Father remarried in 1875 to Mary Mathie -  Mary passed in 1916 (no mention of William (her step-son) in that death notice - William and the second wife had 2 children James and Edith (1880)
