Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- The image is faint and affected by bleed-through from the reverse/adjacent card; several fields are readable only at medium confidence.
- Given names read as "Margaret Jean"; the second name may be the same "Jeane" spelling seen in Walter George Ponceby's Canadian Virtual War Memorial record.
- Birthplace appears to read "Borden, P.E.I., Can." This differs from the DeSable/Hampton PARO baptismal-index lead and should be preserved as a source-level reading rather than normalized.
- The nearest-relative/friend line in Canada is unclear; current reading is "Mr. ... Allison, C.N.R., Canada."
- Prior U.S. residence appears to read from 1876 to 1905 in Massachusetts; the reading is uncertain but broadly consistent with the Boston marriage and Donald Edwin Ponceby birth records.
- The destination line is read as "Son
- Donald Ponceby, 9715 Logan Ct, Cleveland Ohio"; this links the card to Donald Edwin Ponceby but does not by itself promote Margaret from lead status.

Archive notes
- Generated by scripts/ingest_record.py from 33SQ-G5QG-96JQ.jpg.
- No printed repository citation page was supplied with the JPEG, so no citation block was added.
- Linked to lead-margaret-mac-kennon-1868 because the name, age, Prince Edward Island birth, and son Donald Ponceby match the existing Margaret Mac Kennon/McKinnon Ponceby hypothesis.
- Do not update or create a canonical Margaret person record until this proposed source and the conflicting PEI/Risteen lead path are reviewed.
