Olive May Smith was born in Oct-Dec 1901 and baptised on 30 May 1902 at Great Limber in Lincolnshire.
An Olive May Smith aged 12 years emigrated to Canada under the auspices of the Salvation Army on the ship Andania, from Southampton on 17.7.1913 arriving at Quebec on 26.7.1913.
On 12 May 1956 John Arthur Tydeman, b. 6.10.1881 England, died at Vancouver Briitish Columbia. His wife was shown as Olive May Smith.

I am trying to connect the three Olive May Smith or eliminate them as not the same person.

Can anyone help please.

Looking at the BAC

Just for ref, have you checked to see if the other girls were related?

already posted the 1939, see post at 13.09 and pointed out that it is not uncommon for the DOB to be out by a year or so

Many thanks everyone for your assistance.
It is obvious that the three Olive May Smiths in my original request are not the same person.
Once again many thanks
