  • Notes 
    • BIRTH:
      - Identified as a child of this marriage and year of birth estimated as about 1902 in family history information compiled by Roberta Sellier Aqui.
      - Year of birth would be 1902-1903, according to age (27 years) given in entry for Julie Sellier in the passenger arrival list for the S.S. Lady Drake, arriving from Demerara, British Guiana, to St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada, on 12 August 1930, in "Canada, Arriving Passengers Lists, 1865-1935" on ancestry.com. Place of birth given as Arima, Trinidad. Nearest relative in Trinidad given as "Mother Mrs. Lea Sellier."
      - Consistent with age ("in her 97th year") described in her obituary published in the Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) Citizen, Monday, 7 June 1999, page 27.

      EMIGRATION:
      - Emigrated to Canada in 1930, sailing on the S.S. Lady Drake, originating in Demerara, British Guiana, and arriving in St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada, on 12 August 1930. Listed as Julie Sellier, and the form indicates that she did not expect to permanently reside in Canada. The passenger list notes that she boarded in Grenada. Passenger list in "Canada, Arriving Passengers Lists, 1865-1935" on ancestry.com.
      - Returned to Canada in 1932, sailing on the S.S. Lady Nelson, originating in Georgetown, British Guiana, and arriving in St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada on 20 April 1932. Listed as Julia Bain (and her mother's name is given as Lea Sellier, Port of Spain), and the form indicates that she does expect to permanently reside in Canada.
      - These two records narrow her marriage date to Ernest Bain to the period from August 1930 to April 1932.

      OCCUPATION:
      - Civil servant (1930 passenger arrival list). Her destination in this record was "c/o Royal Bank of Canada, Montreal Que." so it may be that she was going to take a position there.
      - Housewife (1932 passenger arrival list).

      DEATH:
      Full date of 2 June 1999 given in obituary published in the Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) Citizen, Monday, 7 June 1999, page 27. Died in Scarborough Grace Hospital, Scarborough, Ontario.
