1920's Alberta Marriage & Birth Look-ups
« on: Friday 05 February 10 14:03 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please help in finding details of the following Marriage and birth, most probably in Alberta.

Marriage - ALEX IRVINE and JEANIE ELLIS, both born in Scotland, were married after July 1923. Ships Passenger details for Jeanie show that she left Scotland 10 Aug 1923 destined for Colemen/Coleman? Alberta to meet Alex "to be married". Alex was a coal miner and Jeanie had an uncle, William Ellis,  who ran mining operations in Three Hills so perhaps they married there.

Birth - MARGARET JEAN ELLIS IRVINE, daughter of Alex and Jeanie, probably born sometime between 1924 and 1935.

Thanks,
Canisp.

There are limitations, due to privacy laws, of what information is available in Canada for recent events and it varies from province to province as there is no central registry of BMD for Canada - the responsibility resides in the jurisdiction of each province.

This link explains Alberta's guidelines

You might be able to find something in Alberta town/regional history books from this site.  There is a book listed for Coleman but not for Three Hills.

This site might prove useful for obituaries and it also has a link to the Lethbridge paper where you might find something about the family.
