Hello, I'm hoping to find exactly where some of my family are buried. I have searched the Erie Cemetery online to no avail.
My Great Grandad, Edward Edge, after marrying Mary Cooper in 1883 went to Canada. They had the following children:
Ellen Ethel(my grandma) - born Derbyshire 1902
Jesse Geraldine - born Canada ?1888
John - born Canada ?1891
Albert - born Canada ?1897
Florence - ?born and died in Canada
twins Bertha and Lillian - ?born and died (1 month old) in Canada
My aunt's diary says that Florence and the twins are buried at Eire Cemetery, Harrow Ontario but the only cemetery I can find spelt Erie.
Hope you can help.
Regards
Deb

Hi Tigger,
There is a cememtery called Erie in Harrow, it's right by the Lake (Lake Erie).
My cousin asked for the name and said he would check it out, so I'll get back to you.

Hello Deb
I guess son got the mom's maiden name for 2nd name ... ancestry's mistake in transcribing
John Cooper born Sept. 20, 1890
Father: Edward Edge
Mother: Mary Cooper
Informant: Edward Edge, farmer, Colcester South
Accoucher: Lucinda Atkins
Note at bottom of entry - Now residing at Vungeville/Vungerille (not sure of V)
WTG Karen.
If we can figure out this now residing place, then maybe we will find Albert's birth there.

Looks like Kingsville, cause on the same page as John Cooper, is Bertha and Lillies birth, seems they must have forgot to register them right after the birth and waited. The 3 of them were registered April 2, 1892.

Must be Karen. Crappy K for sure when it looks like a V.
