So, I ordered the full record from the Provincial Archives of Alberta. While the information is close, there are a significant number of questionable items on the record:
- The surname does appear to be Hewer on the death record rather than Hewett
- Her middle name is listed as Florence rather than Frances. Her middle name is listed as Frances on her birth record [D04712].
- The contact name is listed as Harry K. Hewer. I have not come across anyone with a similar name to this point
- Her age is listed as 41 years, 11 months and 28 days. With a death date of 13 April 1917, this would work out to a date of birth of 16 February 1875, as opposed to the date of birth of 10 March 1872 on her birth registration [D04712]
- There's no sign that any of the rest of the family were in Alberta so the fact that she was found in a death record in Alberta is somewhat suspicious
