Okay thanks mfm

Looks like Margaret & Annie. It seems that he's going to join brother William in Vancouver, BC and is just travelling through US, says he's only going to be in US 3 days. Father is Dennis in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Is this his father Dennis?

Is this brother William's death in California? Mother's maiden name is Clifton:

COTTINGHAM WILLIAM GEORGE 01/01/1912 CLIFTON M CANADA SAN DIEGO(37) 09/26/1980 569-48-3313 68 yrs

Yes margee. You are right. Do they look like children and is it their age 9 ?.I did not know they had children.

Could it be that they're his brother's children? It looks like brother is written beside children. Yes, there's a 9 beside each child's name. Age? Are they twins?

I honestly dont know who's children they are,william married in 1936 to a Elsie Dixon,
But Albert married a Margaret Mary Wilson in 1930 and then a Marie in 1938.

I dont know who these children belong to, and have not found their births yet.
With one of the children being called margaret you would think she is possibly Albert and Margarets

What are the birth records for canada like?

Best wishes mfm

Birth records less than a 100 years ago in Canada are very difficult to access because of privacy. I don't know what to suggest.

Okay thanks for your input

Have you seen the photo of Margaret Mary's gravestone here?

Edit: Wow! Just found my grandmother's sister in the same cemetery. No photo though.

Reading the second page of that card I'm sure I can see the word adopted in relation to the children but the image is very poor.

Under Medical Certificate I can make out:
