I am trying to find out information on Jane Palen.
Birth certificate states born surname was Clark but in 1901 census Scotland she was named as Jamieson daughter to James and Mary Ann.

Found marriage certificate for her to George Elbert Palen in Dundee 1929, it looks like George was on a ship that was docked in Dundee.  named ? "city of Flint". One of the Witnesses was Anthony H, ? Patte from Rochester New York

1940 census her address was  Eddystone, Delaware, Pennsylvania with George and a son named George aged 8.

I am looking for information on when did she go to America,  when and where she died.
Would also be great If there was any information on both George

A newspaper article in the Chester Times says the elder George died suddenly on 6 (I think) Jun. 1958.  Services at Griffith Chapel, Norwood Pa.  Internment at Philadelphia Memorial Park.

Other articles refer to the death of son George.  It says he was shot to death with his own rifle while in a sentry box and it was unclear if it was an accident or intentional.
