Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • This source was created from a government archive PDF death index entry rather than from the underlying death certificate.
  • The indexed middle name is recorded as Mckay, which may correspond to Mackie in other repo records and should be reviewed as a likely variant rather than treated as settled.
  • Rechecked on 22 April 2026
    the entry appears on PDF page 16, index page label "4 DEATH."

Notes

Archive notes

  • Stronger than the pasted online life summary for Catherine's death date and place because it comes from an archive-backed vital statistics index.
  • Still an index entry rather than the full death registration, so keep this source proposed until the underlying record is reviewed.
  • The death date conflicts with the current online-summary-derived 2 May 1927 date already present elsewhere in the repo.
  • Queue the full Alberta death registration for record 403-162 to resolve the 2 May versus 7 May death-date conflict and the Mackie/McKay/Horne identity issue.
