I am trying to find a possible marriage and death for Lilian Maud Copley

Details are as follow:

Parents
Bertie William Copley b c1887 Westham Essex England, d 19 Jan 1979 Coquitlam British Columbia
Florence Emma Stevens b c1884 Stratford, Essex England
Married 13 Nov 1907 York Ontario Canada

Twin girls born to this couple 18 Nov 1909 York Ontario Canada
Florence Mabel Copley (died 8 Dec 1909)
Lilian Maud Copley

Is there any kind person out there in Canada that can do a look up for me on the Canadian record to see if Lillian married and also her possible date of death. Is it also possible to find her mother (Florence Emma Stevens) date of death.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Chris,

I have that info, I just can't seem to find anything for a possible marriage or death for her.

Interesting that they have put nationality as Irish considering the family were all from Norfolk, England for quite a number of generations prior to their emigration to Canada.

Again thank you for your time and effort

Vanessa :-)

You can search BC BMDs at
http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-5648D94/gbsearch/Births,Marriages,Deaths

Ontario has different closure periods. The latest births are pre WW1; the latest marrs is 1928; deaths are not closed, but there's no index published for 70y.

I didn't see them on the 1911 census - probably mistranscribed. Ckeck
