Hi:
I lived in Springhill only from 1957 to 1961 so my file doesn’t as many families as from Parrsboro to Advocate.
I don’t have the direct answer to your query but Arthur James Johns m/1 Georgina Amelia Studivan on 29 Feb 1944 at Wesley United, Springhill. He petitioned for a divorce from Georgina in 1960. Arthur m/2 Ada May Canning sometime after 1960.
Would Ada Canning have any info if she were still living?
If Mary Studivan is in her late 40’s, early 50’s, I would assume Mary was born after 1960 and thus a half-sibling to your Mom and two uncles?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for anyone who has any information on the whereabouts of my aunt. Her name is Mary Studivan. From what I gather, she left Springhill to go to Alberta. Some time in 2001 or 2002. no one in the family has been able to tell me much more than that. She would be in her late 40s or early 50s. She has a son named Justin. I don't remember the last name of his father but his Steve or Steven. . Mary's mother was Georgina Studivan, her sister, my mother is Deborah Johns. Any information no matter how big or small would be of great help. Thanks, Erica. Ps. If you're uncomfortable giving information publicly, feel free to contact me privately via email.
