I have not found this family on the Canadian 1921 census; so wonder if they made a trip back to Scotland for some reason. However, on the Voters List for Canada, specifically Alberta I have found Ronald in 1963
Entry # 236 - 238
Ronald Wilkie, Merchant, Brooks
Mrs Jessie Wilkie, Brooks
Mrs Liza Wilkie, Widow, Brooks

1965 Voters List - is as the 1963 entries, except that Ronald is listed as a Manager
1972 Voters List, Wilkie, Ronald G., Land Supt, Brooks (Lines 291 & 292)
Mrs Jessie Wilkie, Housewife
Missing is Mrs Liza Wilkie - Ronald's mother - so presume she had died. Nov 2013 hw

Since finding the above family, I have researched the local histories of Brooks Alberta and it seems Ronald Wilkie married Jessie Brown; Ronald's Parents were named as J. C. Wilkie formerly of Medicine Hat & CPR activities; Ronald's brother Fettis died in 1918 of diptheria - so at this time I am uncertain if this is OUR family connection at all - as I am searching for a James Boyd Wilkie

I also checked ScotlandsPeople site, was unable to locate a James Wilkie, Married to an Eliza; couldn't find a birth for James (first child) so more work to be done here to determine if I have the correct family Nov 29 2013 hw

James married Eliza Findlay in Unknown. Eliza (daughter of J. Findlay and M. Murray) was born on 7 Jan 1889 in , , Aberdeenshire, Scotland; died on 25 Dec 1966 in Brooks, Alberta, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
