About this record

An Ontario death record found for Edith Christie (see the related record in this same photograph) names her father as Thomas Christie of Madoc — matching this name and giving a likely reason the two are memorialized on the same photograph: father and daughter, not husband and wife. Unconfirmed; the death record alone doesn't establish the relationship beyond the shared name.
