Notes

According to the Birth Registration (Nova Scotia) Application for Mary Bertha (k.a. Bert) King, her parents Frederick George King and Minnie Coombs married on July 10 1912. MInnie Coombs appears in the 1911 Census of Sydney, Cape Breton as single, residing with her sister Eliza (Coombs) Mortimer; and the first known child of Frederick George King and Minnie Coombs (i.e. Ada Lillian) was born in August 1913 according to her Birth Registration.

But, there is no record of their marriage on the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics website, or in Newfoundland as per FamilySearch's Newfoundland Vital Records 1840 to 1949, Marriages 1909-1912 and 1913-1916. Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are the most likely locations for their marriage.

Ancestry's Ontario, Canada, Marriages, 1801-1928 Collection also has no marriage record for Frederick George King and Minnie Coombs, based on separate searches for Frederick King and for Minnie Coombs marriages between 1911 and 1915.

Notes

There are the following sources for Frederick George King's date of birth:

1. The 1921 Census of Sydney Nova Scotia which is as of June 1 1921 records Fred King age 32, implying a year of birth between June 1888 and May 1889.

2. The Death Certificate (Nova Scotia) for Fred George King, completed by his daughter Bertha (King) Mersereau, records Fred George's date of birth as February 2 1889.

In addition, Ancestry's Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 records Fred'k King age 21 Born Newfoundland Destination Sydney Current Occupation Fisherman Intended Occupation Laborer Religion Methodist arriving from Port aux Basque in Sydney on September 22 1910, implying a year of birth between September 1888 and September 1889. This Fred'k King is a candidate to be the husband of Minnie Coombs as his date of birth is consistent with those above. But, Ancestry's 1911 Census of Canada does not seem to record a Fred King who is a candidate to be the husband of Minnie Coombs.

From the Cape Breton Post (February 22, 1964) available on the Cape Breton Genealogy & Historical Association website (www.cbgha.org):

The funeral of Fred G. King will take place from the Fillmore Funeral Home, Sunday (Feb. 23) afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens.
