Gardiner, Gertrude Louise (nee Mews)
Passed peacefully away at her home in Brampton, Ont., with her family by her side, on Monday, October 4, 1999. Cherished wife of Harcourt (Buzz); loving mother of Jeff (Yvonne), John, Gail (Michael) and Anne (Dan); loving grandmother of Christopher, Samuel and Mia Louise; brother Carman of St. John's. Gertrude will be missed by her family and friends. Friends were received at the Meadowville Cremation Chapel, Brampton, on Wednesday from 2 p.m. until the time of the service at 2:30 p.m. Cremation followed.**

Her sister was married to one of the Ayres. This may have been the connection through which the adoption of baby Gertrude Louise was arranged.

The above information came for Harcourt (Buzz) Gardiner's family tree of his wife Gertrude Louise Mews, referred to above. Here, from his contributed Pedigree Resource File on FamilySearch.com is more on this topic:

"Her sister was married to one of the Ayres. This may have been the connection through which the adoption of baby Gertrude Louise was arranged.

I believe Gert's adoption was arranged. Violet was a young girl, working in Bertha's home, pregnant and Harold was the father. Bertha's sister was married to the Ayre of Ayre and sons. Leonard [Mews -- i.e. Gertrude's adopted father] was a trusted employee who had just married and according to rumour his wife had just miscarried. Len was promoted and given 50,000 in Ayre shares just at this time.

The Tessiers, including Harold's brothers, seemed to take an interest in her as a young married woman. Harold knew exactly where to find her and had been following her career. It looks like a private adoption was arranged and probably through Bertha and her sister. This family was
renouned for its good works."
