Island story
Jessie MacLean is commemorated at R5-008 with John MacLean. The NovaStory transcription gives 1945–1916, an impossible lifespan, so PIHS preserves the death year and treats the birth year as a transcription/readability problem until the stone or another source is checked.

Family relationship sources appear in the text alternative below. Missing evidence is not a negative finding.
Incomplete names and identity candidates
Name and accepted-alias matches appear before initials-only possibilities. Within each group, records with no known date conflict and an accepted connection to the selected relative appear first. This is an evidence ordering, not a probability. Compare generation, known relatives, census units, memorials and dated sources in each record. No suggestion changes a family relationship.
