Notes:	Bertie's mother, Mary, was an interesting women. She had been widowed by 1901, but nevertheless, continued to run the family building and hardware merchant's company. She appears to have been living in Edgeworthstown by 1908. Her elder sons were also in the trade. By 1911, the eldest sons, Lewis and George, were still living at home but were in charge of a sawmill, presumably by the Camlin River approximately where Fee Court is located today. Bertie's brother, Walter Milbourne Fee, also lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba. However, by the time that Walter passed away in 1936, Albert had returned to Longford (see Walter's obituary: http://newspaperarchive.com/ca/manitoba/winnipeg/winnipeg-free-press/1936/02-11/page-2 ).
