Mary(May) Christie Shearer
« on: Sunday 23 January 11 04:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I am trying to find where my grandmothers youngest sister died. She was born in ,Scotland to David and |Jeanie Shearer. Her name is Mary Chrsitie Shearer born june 8th,1894. She immigrated to Canada in 1913 and married a Donald Mcleod in Vancouver 1919. My sister seems to think she went back home at some point in time. I founda divorce paper dated 1932 In New Westminster B.C. Canada with Donald McLeod filing divorce,May as the respondent and a W.H.Gordon as a co-respondent. She could have married this man but I have been unable to locate this info. B.C. Vitals was unable to find the final divorce decree but on her marriage registration it says,"marriage disolved 1932 and then there is another date that says 1935. Can anyone help? Donald was born in Stornaway,Scotland abt.1882.  His parents names are Peter and Catherine. Mary was born in Paisley.
Very difficult to find her.  It appears that Mary died in 1951 because my grandmother had written down when her parents and siblings died. All Mary's says is august 1951.

Here's a link to your earlier thread on Canada board- not sure if you saw the 2 replies since you haven't responded on the thread but there's also a link to another thread about Mary posted

This is KarieK's thread looking for Mary- have you tried contacting her?
