  Father	George Henry SLAUENWHITE,   b. 8 Jul 1858, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS d. 25 Jan 1937, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS (Age 78 years)
  Mother	Sarah Jane SLAUENWHITE,   b. 9 Aug 1856, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS d. 9 Jun 1937, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS (Age 80 years)
  Marriage	Abt 1878	Terence Bay, Halifax, NS   [3]
  Notes	Since her first and second sons are named after her first and second husbands, respectively, and since we know that she married her second husband before 1881, it is most likely that her second son is, in fact, the child of her second husband. This in turn means that the second marriage probably occurred abt. 1878.

  Family	Hattie Irene SLAUENWHITE,   b. 2 Aug 1896, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS d. 27 Aug 1961, Spryfield, Halifax, NS (Age 65 years)
  Marriage	28 Nov 1921	Lower Prospect, Halifax, NS   [4]
  Notes	In their 1921 civil marriage record, James Ernest SLAUENWHITE states that he is a bachelor and Hattie Irene SLAUENWHITE states that she is a spinster. However, from the obits of various children, there is no mistaking the fact that at least three of their children were born before 1921. I had thought that, as sometimes happened, this might be a case where they were remarried in the Catholic Church after having previously married in an Anglican ceremony; but both parties and their families were Catholic, and there is no record of a previous marriage ceremony.
