There is a death for Jean Smith Sinclair, 24, wife of Charles Sinclair, grocer in Tranet, East Lothian on 15 Aug 1926. Her parents are listed as Frank Sinclair, marine engineer (deceased) and Jemima Smith. Her husband was the informant. I see the surname for her mother is different from their marriage but perhaps that was Jemima's middle name and Charles thought it her maiden surname or Charles thought that Jean's middle name was his mother-in-law's maiden surname. I see from Frank and Jemima's marriage that Jemima's mother's maiden surname was Smith.
There is also a Charles Sinclair, 28, born Kirkcaldy, Fife, grocer who departed from Greenock, Scotland and arrived in Quebec on the Regina on 4 Jun 1927. His closest relative in the country he left was his sister, Mrs. J. Brown of Kirkcaldy. He was going to the Church of Scotland Offices in Toronto, Ontario.
If he stayed in Ontario and remarried there won't be a certificate available because of privacy laws. There isn't a central registry in Canada as BMD events are a provincial jurisdiction and in Ontario marriages after 1927 are currently protected by law. Marriages from 1927 are currently being microfilmed by the Archives of Ontario and are supposed to be available to the public in 2010 but it will be some time before they are available online. Deaths in Ontario only go to 1937 with 1938 deaths currently being microfilmed.
