Clement Douglas and sister, Gertrude Smith of Parrsboro; Berry_ , Merr
From Doug's obit, his 2 daughters appear to be grown up, one is married, so
possibly both were born in the 1935 range while son, Wayne was born about
1946.
I have Lloyd Roger Berry and Natalie Marina Smith as divorced, date unknown;
no issue.
Natalie Marina's m/2 was possibly to a Capt. Lloyd Melanson (retired, RCAF)
followed by another divorce as she's now going by her maiden name, Smith
again.
Troy Melanson /Crystal McMaster in Parrsboro is one of their children. Their
son's obit was posted yesterday.
