So the Bores were 24m to N of Red Deer (4 township blocks) and 10 m to W (1 range block + 2 sections + abt 2 m of jog the N edge of T34 is a jog line, since 34 is even & 34/2 is odd - by R28, the jogs must have built up to abt 2m)

When confronted with a list of names on a pre-1911 marriage index it's also worth checking if the council website relevant to the area has a registrars section - can be a quick and easy way to check who married through without ploughing through the next available census trying to pair them off.

alviegal, Andrew and Beverley of course, thanks SO MUCH for all this information - at least I know what became of her now, fantastic.
