Hi Nick,
I was able to get the details from the death record but the film containing the marriage is currently missing. I have asked the library to track it down for another look up on this board so hopefully they'll find it soon.
Here are the details from the death registration:
Died on 30 Dec 1972 at St Vincent's Hospital in Vancouver
Usual Address #2 1556 West 14th Ave, Vancouver
In city - life, in province - life, in Canada - life
Widow, spouse William McMillan Carmichael
Born Vancouver BC on 11 Nov 1897
Occupation housewife
Father Herbert Welch
Mother Mary French
Informant daughter
Buried 3 Jan 1973, Mountain View Cemetery
Cause of death cerebral hemorrhage
I will PM the daughter's name as she may still be alive. I checked the index and could not find any birth for Edna no matter what options I tried. I suppose it is possible her birth was not registered. I'll check the marriage record when the film shows up as Edna would have provided the information first hand. The informant on death certificates can only provide the information to the best of their knowledge.
One last thing, you can email Mountain View Cemetery and ask if they have a photo of Edna's headstone. They have a database of photos of all the headstones in the cemetery and luckily they were all taken in the summer time. Their contact details are here:
