Got your pm Somerset Thanks.

Margaret, I will not dismiss this information as I don't know how old Melvin was when he married. I suppose it is possible that he was the brother of this lady but I know nothing of the family.
Mum just tells me that she thinks Florence married a Canadian (Melvin) AND THEN married HIS brother.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave !!!!!!

NO! Just realized your Melvin married in 1975. This lady was born 1921.

Hello
Could some kind person see if there is a birth in Canada of a Melvin Edward Pitre., family and siblings.
This is a follow on from a request yesterday of his whereabouts now to no success.
I believe he married Florence Margaret Marsland in 1975 in the UK and they emigrated to Canada.
Hoping someone can help
Joan
