Re: Obit (1996) - Harry Edward DUNLOP

Hi Gerry:

Thanks. That takes care of five of the seven children.

I already have both of Frances Mary “Duce” (Collins) Arseneau Dunlop’s parents obits.

So, for now, I’ll give “Duce” two un-named spouses in my file for son, Robert Collins and daughter, Darlene (?) LeBlanc until I learn more. I can always do a match & merge later.

Robert Collins is possibly before her marriage to Mr. Arseneau; Darlene could possibly be either before Mr. Arseneau OR between Mr. Arseneau and Mr. Dunlop.

Thanks again.

Dave

I'm not sure what you already have and not sure how deep you want to go, but do you also want:
John William Collins, died Aug 2, 1992 - f/o Frances Collins
Earl Matthew Dunlop, died Jan 6, 1993 - Harry's brother
Edwina Collins, died Oct 6, 1996 - Frances' mother
M. Isabel Dunlop, died Jan 1, 1999 - Harry's sister

Would anyone have the obit for Harry Dunlop?

I'm trying to place all of Florence's children correctly in my file as I
work on my Parrsboro Shore families.

Son, Robert Collins, I believe, is married to Janice Delahunt whose mother
was Dorothy Bernice Lamb from Parrsboro. Dorothy was raised by a Kirkpatrick
family after her mother died.

Sylvia, Deborah, Wanda and Theresa are Arseneau's from their father's obit.

Deborah Arseneau m/1 William "Bill" Rolfe, foster son of Frederick T. Carter
and Beatrice Adelia Gough [b. Diligent River] but born a s/o Percy William
Rolfe [b. Diligent River] and Emma Margaret Cormier.

By elimination, Darlene and Jeannie are (Dunlop's????) as Frances was only
age 39 when Mr. Cormier died.

Thanks in advance.
