MARRISON

This is for my grandmother, Maud Susannah Marrison for I never saw her...She died one month before I was born (1954).
She was a young war bride from England who had married to my grandfather, William Buchanan of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Daddy remember how much she wants to go back to England again to visit her home but never make it...She died of cancer at the age of 63.

They came back to Canada after the war and moved to Saskatchewan, had 3 children and returned back to Prince Edward Island in 1930's after the death of William Buchanan's parents (Anthony and Jane Buchanan)

I have been digging some information from the archives, collect old pictures from Daddy's family albums to make this special page to grow..It is for you, Maud Susannah .......
