Hi

New to posting in the Canadian section, looking for any help on a long lost grand aunt of mine, name was Maria (possibly Marie) Blair Stevenson Kennedy (born 17 Aug 1907, Renfrew Scotland) who married Alexander Howie Cassidy in Vancouver 2 Feb 1929, looking on any information on Alexander's family, I have his parents as John Howe Cassidy and Margaret McCube.

Just found that out on LDS but had no luck with my searches, so any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

David

Hi David,

Marie's death 6th March 1958

Brother John Howie Cassidy 30th May 1960

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FLR1-SJ5

This entry gives the parents as John Cassidy and Mother McCabe ? Perhaps Alexander remarried, spouse names as Irene May Desimore ?

You're very welcome. Canada has very strict privacy laws but British Columbia is a little more research friendly
