Esther Skelcy born in England
« on: Sunday 28 May 23 16:44 BST (UK) »
Hi All.
         Esther married Conrad Fetter 5 Dec 1916 giving her age as 17, in Perth, Ontario.
         An obituary for her father, Charles David Skelcy dated 8 April 1958 gives her name as Mrs G Wroe (Esther) daughter.
           I haven't found another marriage for her or a death. Could someone see if they can find her please.
                         Carol

Have you found any obits for other siblings ?

Ivy Kathleen Skelcy/Simpson 14 August 1907 passed away 2 September 1950 wonder if the obit for her would mention Esther. Run-Kitty might be able to find that obit if you haven't got it  :)

FIND A GRAVE  same cemetery as father Charles D Skelcy 1873 - 6 April 1958 (obit which carol02 already has)

In the 1958 Voters' List, there is a George Wroe living in the electoral district that included Westbourne Avenue (where Ivy was living in 1950).  He is living at 50 Bexhill Avenue with a Mrs. Helen Wroe. George is noted as a carpenter.
