Name Lillian MALLETT [1] Birth 26 Jul 1893 Welwyn, Northwest Territories, Canada [2] - Not sure the birth occurred in Welwyn.
Gender Female Residence Abt 1895 32-14-29, McAuley, Manitoba, Canada [3, 4, 5, 6] - Homestead applied for at Birtle ca 1895. For the grand price of $10.00. One of the last homesteads in the area.
Albert William Mallett decided to apply for a homestead, so he hitched up the buggy and he and Mary Jane [Corden] drove to Birtle to apply and receive one of the last homestead in the district, for the price of $10.00.
There was no home on the homestead, so the first winter their home was a cave, or rather two caves side by side - one for the animals and one for the family - dug into the hill side. The next couple of years was spent enlarging the stable dividing half for a home - the rest for the animals. It wasn't until four years had passed that a house was built.
Have picture of family in front of sod home ca 1899.
