Research Notes

Some online trees have Prudence Harriet Caroline Biddeson marrying Frederick Milton Butler in 1893 but no supporting document source & although a thorough search has been undertaken, NO marriage record for them has been located so far.
Gertrude and Temple Butler were born before Prudence's husband Henry Coulson appears to have died but NO birth records can be located in Ontario for them either as Coulson or Butler,
