Could This Be One of Ma's Sisters?

Hi family,

I found a Maud Mowatt. It seems she married some guy named David Christie and had a few kids:

Olive: born 1906 http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=recordimage&c=fs:1538386&r=r_1156648886&pn=p3

Lydia : born 1914 http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=recordimage&c=fs:1538386&r=r_1156672785&pn=p3

Barow: born 1917

I do not know if this Maud is Ma's sister but it is something to look into.

Have fun!!!
