Marjorie Eleanor Ponceby

An Alberta vital statistics deaths index entry (record no. 102-875, Edmonton, 1932) records Marjorie Eleanor Ponceby, who died in Edmonton on 8 December 1932. Marjorie could be a later spouse, sibling, or other collateral relative in Donald Edwin Ponceby's Alberta network. Earlier notes treated her as a possible child of Donald Edwin Ponceby and Catherine Mackie Horne, but a separate Edmonton Journal catalog search result viewed on 23 April 2026 appears to give born-about 1907 and a married-style entry beginning "Mrs. Do"; because that catalog page was not accessible for verification, treat the spouse clue as unconfirmed.

Why this is not settled yet

Dates not yet resolved

What spouse, parents, age, birthplace, residence, and informant are named on the underlying Alberta death registration?
Does the Edmonton Journal death notice identify the truncated "Mrs. Do..." reference, and is it "Mrs. Donald Ponceby" or another spouse entirely?
Are there any other records (census, baptism, burial) that mention a Marjorie Ponceby in Alberta?

Notes

Lead created 2026-04-22 from a handwritten index image and then rechecked against the Alberta Provincial Archives PDF; the connection is speculative until the death registration is reviewed.
A separate typed Alberta deaths index PDF, checked and saved on 23 April 2026, reads "PONCEBY MARJORIE ELEANOR" rather than the earlier tentative "Poncely" reading and supplies the exact date 12 8 32 and record identity 102-875.
A public search result for the Alberta Genealogy Research Edmonton Journal 1930-1934 catalog, rechecked on 23 April 2026 at `https://www.albertagenealogy-research.ca/Data/Catalogs/EdmontonJournal1930-1934.pdf`, lists "PONCEBY, Marjorie Eleanor (Mrs. Do" with published year 1932, born about 1907, size M, type Death, on cached catalog page 174 of 238. The live catalog URL redirects to an account-suspended page, so this clue remains unverified and was not ingested as a source.
Do not update any canonical person record based on this lead alone.
