Dorothy Violet Wisbey

It would probably be worth your while to use this pay per view site for the Toronto Star archives, as the Beament family would probably have announced the wedding date and its whereabouts so you at least know the time frame and where it took place.   http://pagesofthepast.ca/

O.k. I have a name for the first wife, Eleanor as both children are spoken of as being with her in 1938

1946 http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3vsuAAAAIBAJ&sjid=G9wFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6086,1088400&dq=eleanore+beament&hl=en
Still spoken of in 1950  http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yM8vAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mdwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=901,4285861&dq=eleanore+beament&hl=en
As I see no divorce for the couple, your wedding likely took place late in life...
sometime after 1950, so you will find only newspaper information for the meantime...

Great stuff JJ. Even more curious now - you have Eleanor (Presume Quesnal ?) up until 1958. But who is  Vivienne appearing on the 2 cruises in 1952 and 1954.   Could it possibly be a middle name for Eleanor 

Noticed that the daughter was an accomplished pianist.

Eleanore Quesnel Beament burial not listed in Carleton
re: the daughter...I found this when looking to see who attended the children's weddings...but couldn't find either marriage in the news...I wonder if she may be the textile curator at this museum in Ohio, although she may have been in her 70s  Not that it helps Tony,   http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/03/01/loc_fabric_artifacts.html

Oh, just noticed...I only have Eleanor up to 1950...If you saw 1958 that was the OCR seeing the 0 as 8 when it first came up...I may have written 1958 first then changed it later...? So who knows what gives with the Dorothy Vivienne thing...I can't find anything more on either of them...

Think you've done a brilliant job with what you have found. It isn't just as easy as finding a marriage, is it ?  That's why it's nice to know or have an idea what has been found already, saves hours of work, trying to piece the story together.

One of your last links  in reply 19 - the Ottawa Citizen was dated  14 Sept 1958

I know, it is the OCR ( optical character recognition) sees it as 1958...If you go to the actual image pages it is 1950 not 1958... Guess they should check their checker
