- Created after user acceptance of source-marriage-record-for-walter-pownceby-and-margaret-mac-kennon on 26 April 2026.
- The accepted 1901 Boston marriage certificate records Margaret Mac Kennon, age 32, born in Prince Edward Island, resident at 1 Marble St, Boston, occupation dressmaker, marrying Walter Pownceby on 9 January 1901.
- The accepted marriage certificate names Margaret's father as Donald Mac Kennon and mother as Elizabeth Jardine.
- Accepted 1902 Boston birth register and birth return records for Donald Edwin Ponceby record his mother as Margaret McKinnon, supporting the Margaret Mac Kennon/McKinnon identity and parent relationship to Donald Edwin.
- The Margaret Ann McKinnon PARO baptismal-index candidate remains unresolved because the index does not state Elizabeth's surname and a compiled Island Register page gives a conflicting Elizabeth McKay/Risteen path.
- Exact birth date, death date, and later-life identity variants remain dependent on proposed or not-yet-obtained sources.
