Father James Ernest SLAUENWHITE, b. 20 Mar 1896, Lower Prospect, Halifax, NS d. 25 Nov 1978, Spryfield, Halifax, NS (Age 82 years) Mother 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 [3] 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.
