For Alan Edward Smith & Ivy Christena Mills

her first husband, Allen Edward Smith, killed in action in 1944

The only record found that names this union at all. It calls him her husband, which is what union type "married" rests on here; there is no marriage registration behind it - Saskatchewan releases marriage records only after 75 years and this marriage would fall around 1940-1944.

For Alan Edward Smith (d. 1944)

Ivy was predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Isabelle Mills; her first husband, Allen Edward Smith, killed in action in 1944; her second husband, Robert Malcolm Smith

From the Regina Leader-Post obituary of his widow Ivy Christena Mills (#5477), reproduced on her Find a Grave memorial; retrieved 2026-08-30. Gives the year of death (1944) and the manner (killed in action), and spells the given name "Allen" where the tree has "Alan" - hence the aka name row. Only the year is asserted; the obituary gives no day, unit or place, and no war-graves record has been matched to him yet. The same sentence names a second husband, Robert Malcolm Smith, who is not in the tree and for whom no dates were found.
