- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 In Lily's letter to Sirius in Deathly Hallows you can work out that the McKinnon died around about July or early August in 1981 and as we know that Marlene McKinnon and her family died two weeks after the photo of the Order was taken, all the rest of the members of the Order who died (or disappeared) must have died some time inbetween July and October 31st in 1981.
