I am looking for information for Lottie Hanson. She lived in the area (farming) from about 1928 until 1949 or longer according to voter lists. I have found her on voter lists in Edmonton after 1963. She may have been married to Samuel Finch before 1935 and was married to Eric Schule about 1936. I know she had at least two children although I am uncertain what their surname is. I am very interested in finding this "lost" line on my family tree. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi, You are searching for Information about Lottie HANSON - married Samuel FINCH pre 1935 - married Eric SCHULE aprox 1936. Is HANSON her maiden name - or one of her married surnames?
Searching online white pages directory MyTelus.com Shows only 1 SCHULE surname.

Hello and thanks for the reply.
HANSON is her maiden name. Her father, Swan August HANSON, died in Oct. 1932 and she is mentioned in the obituary as "Mrs. S. FINCH". I have reason to believe that she may not have been married to Mr. FINCH and that he had a wife and child elsewhere and there was a 40 year age difference between Lottie and Mr. FINCH. Sam FINCH died in 1935 and is buried in Thorhild.
In correspondence with the Dept. of Lands in March of 1937 she states that she was married the previous fall and signs the letter "Mrs. SCHULE". In another piece of correspondence from July 1937 she states that she has 2 children.
The address she used is Waugh, AB. And their homestead land was SW 22 59 23 W4. They also owned NW 15 59 23 W4. I am uncertain of the paternity of the children; are they HANSON, FINCH, or SCHULE?
Again, any information would be helpful and much appreciated.

Obit/Will Probate for her father - should show if she was beneficiary - in his Will .
Lived in Edmonton? - City Directories / HendersonWigley Dominion Directories - are Criss Cross directories -s howing name to address - address to name. Will show names of all adults living at a particular address. Occupation / place of work. Telephone directories - may be helpful
Cheers, Stella

Thanks Stella.
I have Swan Hanson's probate records and they were helpful. I'll look into finding probate records for Sam Finch.
I don't know if Henderson directories will be much help (were they available in the '60's) but phone directories may be.
