Lillian Silliker from Alberton PEI mentioned to me and on FB that her mother Jennie Rebina Phillips (originally from MacNeils Mills PEI) was the fiancé of Vincent during the war. (Joel Joy Feb 2016).

 

Vincent also had a daughter in England: Angela McDonnold (née MacCausland). dambustersblog.com/2018/5/19/families-gather-to-open-new...

 

Kathy MacCausland visited Estelle Jane McCausland Sewell (Vincent's sister) in May 2011, and Kathy asked how she felt about Vincent's child and Estelle said "I wished I knew more, because I would pay for a visit."

 

(Facebook: Tyne Valley and surrounding areas photos and memories, conversation between Deborah Bezanson and Carolyn McKillop, Nov 13, 2018)

"He (Vincent) had a daughter with Rene Warman, Angela. After the war ended, they traveled to Canada to meet the MacCauslands, she would later marry Howatt , Vincent's brother; the marriage did not last and Rene and Angela returned to England".

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carol (Williams) Joy said Vincent's mother Kate and father Burns. Burns used to visit Ruth (Williams) Ramsay and her husband Hardy Ramsay a lot. Carol heard from her Aunt Ruth that Kate MacCausland did not socialize as much after Vincent's death.
