Re: Obit: Lambert, Darlene Nellie [nee Stonehouse]

David,

I was puzzled by the two different death dates for Darlene Lambert so I checked the Funeral Home website: I believe someone at Funeral Home transcribed the date incorrectly mixing the 9 and 12 numbers for month and day. 

Thank you for all of your great work......bliss

Again, why one has to do their own research and not depend on the accuracy
of genealogical websites. Harry did not die in Oxford on 19 Nov 1960 per his
obit above-he was married on 19 Nov 1960 in Oxford:

http://www.stonehouse.ca/tree/p759.htm#i37936:
Harry Clifford Lambert (M), b. circa 1926, ***d. 19 November 1960***

Harry Clifford Lambert was born circa 1926 at Port Greville, Cumberland,
Nova Scotia, Canada. He married Darlene Nellie Stonehouse circa 1946. Harry
Clifford Lambert died on 19 November 1960 at Oxford, Cumberland, Nova
Scotia, Canada.

Darlene Nellie Stonehouse is the daughter of Orrie Knock Stonehouse and
Margaret Totten. ***She married Harry Clifford Lambert circa 1946.***
