Biography

Elizabeth Dent was born on 30 Jun 1916 in East Kildonan, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Her parents were William Dent and Ethel Dumble. ^[1]

In 1926 she was recorded during the Prairie Census at their home at 397 Hargrave Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with her parents, siblings and 7 lodgers. It's possible her parents had a rooming house, something that was a popular way of earning extra money during the depression. Her Aunt Rebecca Dumble emigrated in 1925 and was living next door at 399 Hargrave Street with 9 lodgers in her home. ^[2]

She married Brian Patrick Mathias on 14 Aug 1937 in the Gods Lake region of Manitoba, Canada. ^[3]
