PM from Marie:

Thank for your reply, we believe that her Father was Italian and came to Canada from America but she was French speaking and working as a Linguist in the 1970s and as far as we know lived near the University and had been divorced.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Just for reference and spelling - is this her in 1974?
She's living alone.

Marguerite Gervais
in the Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980

Name: Marguerite Gervais
Year: 1974
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Electoral District: Laurier


EDIT: But there are other people of that name in Montreal, both married and unmarried in various years, so that may well not be her.

Is she Canadian, or did she move there from some other country?
