Fay Cotler's Timeline

1913
September 15, 1913
Montreal, Montreal, Québec, Canada

According to her 2005 obituary, Fay was in her 97th year, implying that she was 96, implying that she was born in 1909. No age was supplied on her 1939 marriage record. Her brother Harry, whose gravestone indicates birth in 1912, was in the 1911 census, but Fay was not. In the 1921 census, we see Harry (12), Louis (10), Sam (8) and Fanny (6), so this is probably Fay, and she was probably born in 1915.
