For Elizabeth Keyes (1856–1932)

Name of Deceased in full: Elizabeth Martin. Regular Residence: Vegreville, Alberta. Length of Time in Town or District: 13 yrs. Sex: Female. Age: 73 years, 10 months, 14 days. Place of Birth: Richmond, Ont. Racial Origin: Irish/British. Last Occupation: Housewife. Country of Birth of Parents - Father: Ireland, Mother: England.

Confirms this is Elizabeth Keyes (b. 27 Apr 1856), widow of George Ferguson (d. 1919) and mother of Stephen Bromley Jarvis Ferguson and Kenneth Thomas Ferguson, remarried to Joseph Martin in Dec 1922 - hence recorded here under her second married surname. The certificate's implied birth year (~1858, from age at death) is two years later than the birth year already on file (1856); day/month (27/28 April) match closely, so this is treated as a minor age-reporting error typical of the period rather than a correction to the recorded birth date. Birthplace given here as "Richmond, Ont" versus the tree's existing "Marlborough Township, Carleton County, Ontario" - both are in the same part of Carleton County, so not treated as a conflict requiring a change, just noted. Informant on the registration is "J.B. Ferguson", almost certainly her son James Beamond Ferguson (b. 1893) - his middle name matches her own mother's maiden surname, Beaumond.
