name reading note
Initial manual reading treated the surname as possibly "Poncely"; visual recheck of the handwritten PDF page on 23 April 2026 supports PONCEBY as the preferred reading. The separate typed Alberta deaths index source source-alberta-death-index-typed-marjorie-eleanor-ponceby-1932 confirms the name as PONCEBY MARJORIE ELEANOR and gives the fuller record identity. The underlying death registration is still needed to identify parents.

Rechecked against the Alberta Provincial Archives PDF on 22 April 2026 and saved as a raw artifact.
The saved raw text companion preserves the first-pass reading as "Poncely or possible Ponceby"; a fresh visual review on 23 April 2026 makes Ponceby the preferred reading.
This handwritten page records place, number, and year only. The exact death date and fuller record identity are recorded in source-alberta-death-index-typed-marjorie-eleanor-ponceby-1932, a separate typed index PDF source.
The underlying death registration (record 102-875, 1932, Edmonton) should be located before any connection to the family tree is accepted because the index does not name parents.
This page of the deaths index covers entries in the 1932 and 1933 columns; the Marjorie entry is in the 1932 column.

Manual transcription:
Poncely or possible Ponceby, Marjorie | Edmonton | No. 875 | 1932
Notes:
The top surname reading after rechecking the downloadable PDF is Poncely. Ponceby remains a hypothesis because the Donald E. groom index has a similar Poncely/Ponceby handwriting ambiguity. The underlying death registration should be reviewed before linking this person to the Ponceby family.
Source remains proposed; the handwritten index now supports the Ponceby surname, but the relationship to Donald Edwin Ponceby, Catherine Mackie Horne, or Gordon Francis Ponceby remains unproven.
Canonical person person-marjorie-eleanor-ponceby-unknown was created after user acceptance of the separate typed-index source on 26 April 2026; this handwritten-index source remains proposed.
The underlying death registration is the next gate because it may name parents, residence, age, birthplace, or an informant.
