More information has come to light and it appears quite certainly that William H. Gillis did not marry Agnes M. Perrier but rather he married Alice Mae Perrier, sister of Agnes.It is likely that Agness Delrosa Perrier was a witness and the two similar names got confused by the clerk.Also the child left behind was George who later married Jean Hiltz who was the daughter of a barber from Berwick NS. They had two daughters, Barbara who married an RCAF pilot who died in a plane crash n PEI.The other daughter was Peggy, who lived in Halifax and played the piano in Halifax hotels. Alice remarried Bob Kilcupp.
