Hi Maddie

The Ontario marriage came up as a hint on Ancestry and intrigued me, as I knew that Frederick & Selina had married in England and that she had gone on to marry George.

Maddie

Maddie Report 23 Nov 2016 16:28

She must have married george if they did indeed get married in Ontario. I can't find a marriage though :-(

Something I don't understand, Potty, you said that you had all of the English stuff so you must have known that they married in England. Why did you ask for a look-up for their marriage in Ontario?

Thanks Maddie & MargaretM. I do have the English stuff - would have said so earlier but our internet has been playing silly beggars!

Yes, George and Frederick were brothers - still looking for Frederick's death.

Selina was my relative - she was the illegitimate daughter of Mary Martha, daughter of John & Sarah, who were my 2nd great grandparents.

Thanks again for all your time.

Do you suppose that George Edward was the brother of Frederick William? Selina must have known him beforehand, she arrived in Canada 24 July and they were married according to the son's birth record 29 July.
