Sorry Debbie, did not realise this had posted.

I have record of William Gillespie Foulis in 1901 and 1911 Canadian census.

Cannot find any record of his Canadian marriage to Edith Alice Haynes or his death in Canada which was why I started the post.

BC information at the above site gives a death for
William Foulis b. 21 Jan 1865 Scotland s/o Thomas Foulis and Janet Millar on 24 ap 1933 Vancouver.

Edith's death is 19 Sep 1960 and can be found on the same site.

Daughter Janet Edith b. 9 Nov 1895 Calgary, Alberta from her death registration in BC and their son William George Arthur b. 1902 Calgary.
This might indicate that the couple married in Alberta and there is no online genealogy data readily available for Alberta.

This is a pay site
Entering Foulis into the upper right yellow banded search box brings up a listing for 1933 obituary.
This might be worth paying.  Some obituaries contain details such as marriage dates.

Thank you very much Debbie.

Have a horrible feeling from the death registration of William Foulis, naming his parents that I have the wrong one, they are both born on the same day, but with year' s difference!

Back to the drawing board.......

Are you saying there are two people named William Foulis with similar birth dates or are they both named William Gillespie Foulis? I did see two Williams listed at the LDS site with similar birth dates - William Gillespie Foulis born 21 Jan 1865 in Orkney (son of Thomas Foulis and Janet Millar) and William Carrick Foulis born 22 Jan 1866 in Edinburgh (son of Robert Foulis and Emily Woolford Moffat). Is the latter your William or is he a different one altogether?

Yes Jacquie the latter is 'my' William Foulis.  The problem is the family amended their names, adding names subtracting years.  I think that I have found William Foulis in the 1881 census inmate Gilmour St prison, Paisley but again need to check details.

Have been trying to trace the siblings of William Foulis for nearly five years so you can appreciate my disappointment to discover this Canadian William Foulis could be the wrong one.  The death notice of William Foulis does not mention his wife who was still alive....

Thank you for you I interest
