The other possible family for Gladys is as follows, from 1901 Census for Arcadia, Yarmouth, NS:
11 17 106 Saulnier James M Head M Aug 6 1855 45
11 18 106 Saulnier Agnes F Wife M Sep 8 1865 35
11 19 106 Saulnier Gladdays F Daughter S Mar 14 1886 13 (Question to follow... is her other name Mary???)
11 20 106 Saulnier Edmond M Son S Sep 1 1888 12
11 21 106 Saulnier Alexander M Son S Mar 1 1886 15
11 22 106 Saulnier Addie F Daughter S Feb 15 1888 13
11 23 106 Saulnier John M Son S May 11 1890 10
11 24 106 Saulnier Joseph T. M Son S Jul 8 1891 9
11 25 106 Saulnier Catherine F Daughter S Sep 1 1900 7 mo.
ABOVE family only works if Gladys and Joseph Clifford met in Yarmouth Co. and later moved to Weymouth, Digby Co. Given the ties to the Handspikers, suspect a much stronger argument for the Weymouth connection, given that in WWI record, Joseph clearly listed his residence as Weymouth in 1916, and his wife as Gladys Mary.
