Peter Campbell/IsabellaStewart marriage. Lacombe 1921

Surnames: Stewart Campbell
From information on the Declaration of Passenger to Canada form from SS Malita, 7th Oct, 1921 my grandfathers sister Isabella Stewart (born Edinburgh, Scotland) gives her address entering Canada as with 'intended husband Mr Peter M Campbell, RR2 Lacombe, Alberta. Is there any way I can trace if they got married there or does anyone know of them.
Hope someone can help,
Alan (Dumfries, Scotland).

There may be church records in Lacombe or surrounding area -

They will know the Churches - Cemeteries - etc that might be able to guide you to some success.

Thanks for the help. Sorry I should have said I know they didnt die in Lacombe but fairly sure they married there as per the form from the passenger list attacted.
The last known address of the pair was 210 Alfred Street, Kingston, Ontario where all correspondence to a now deceased relative stopped. My relative said in 2002 she couldnt remember when she had the last letter but it was a long time ago. Isabella Stewart was my grandfathers sister from a family of 8 children we were only aware of 2 my grandfather and his oldest brother. The carnage of the WW1 was mostly to blame for the lost knowledge and I am the first to know of the full family so see it as my job to trace what I can.
Isabella told a little lie on the passenger list by giving her age as 33 when she was in fact 40 (born Edinburgh).
Know she came back to Scotland between the wars and adopted a girl Muriel and took her back to Canada. Know nothing of Peter Campbell so was hoping a Marriage in Lacombe might give some information making them more easily traced. Dont know when they left Lacombe.
She had a brother John Muir Stewart who lived in Merriton, Ontario and he was killed in WW1 just a few months before his brother (my grandfather). John also we never knew existed until recently. I have all there is on him but must wait for the 1921 census to find out if he had children before his death 13/04/1916. His widow Isabella (White) moved to Port Dalhousie while he was on service and there is a May Stewart listed as a daughter with them on the 1911 census Thorald mispelled as STWART. She does appear on school lists for Port Dalhousie but the lists are sporadic and there are none which would have covered younger children.
Have gone on a bit but you can see the interest I have now and hope to get in touch with living relatives some day soon. Dont think Isabella Stewart/Campbell would have had any natural children hence the adoption but not proven off course.
Thanks again for your help,
regards,
Alan.

Hi, Have you posted your quest to the Ontario Message Board: or Mail List.

There may be persons who will be able to assist re Isabella and her family husband Peter , daughter Muriel

Which in turn - may eventually lead you to information re the marriage which may have occurred in Lacombe Alberta

Always best to start with the most current information - and work back.

I know they didn't die in Lacombe but fairly sure they married there as per the form from the passenger list attached.

The last known address of the pair was 210 Alfred Street, Kingston, Ontario where all correspondence to a now deceased relative stopped. SNIP

Unfortunately we do not have a National Registry of Marriages Birth -Death in Canada
Some Provinces have the Vital Events - that they now consider Public Record online.
Alberta - does not.

All Marriages /Births/Deaths - that occur in Alberta need to be Registered in that Province.

Registration of Marriage - from Govt of Alberta Vital Statistics Registry Offices in Edmonton.
The Cost is aprox $40 Cndn. There may be restrictions to access but worth contacting Vital Stats.

Last Known Address for Peter CAMPBELL ? and Isabella CAMPBELL nee STEWART was
210 Alfred Street, Kingston Ontario.
Telephone Directory - may show the family

If a City Directory / Criss Cross Direactory [shows name to address -address to name] will show all persons living at a particular address.

Do you have the passenger list for Isabella CAMPBELL returning to Canada with adopted daughter Muriel.
It should show destination.

Isabella CAMPBELL nee STEWART had a brother John Muir STEWART - dcd 13/04/1916
did he serve with Canadian Expeditionary Forces? if so - Have you obtained Service Records
Have you obtained Service Records for your Grandfather

There might have been an obituary published - or a news story in the paper - which might mention children - also the Obituary for his wife Isabella [WHITE] STEWART - may mention names of children.

Re the Adoption: Perhaps the child of a family member ? who may have passed away during the war?
others do adopt - even when they do have their own birth child/children.

Cheers, Stella
