Between 1846 and 1851 my g/uncle Abraham Trewartha and his wife Elizabeth nee KNIGHT with a daughter Elizabeth emigrated to Canada. They had 5 children born in Ontario, 1851- 1862.
Apart from 1 child Elizabeth who married Wiliam Chapman, with 1 Chapman son Herbert who was killed in WW1 I have no contact with any of this family.
Would love to find some of my relations.

Looks like Joseph Albert Trewartha died Sept 4 1895. 39 years, 11 months and 7 days old. Father A Trewartha.
Death record on familysearch
He was single on the 1891 census.

FamilySearch has a marriage in Harriston, Wellington of
William K Trewartha, son of Joseph Trewartha and Mary Knight..widower, to
Mary Trewartha, daughter of Abraham Trewartha and Elizabeth Knight.
Aug 2 1902. Witness is William H Trewartha.
Looks like there may be other related Trewartha/Knight relatives in Ontario

-
William Trewartha's first wife was also Mary...in 1901, he is living with wife Mary, daughter Lena (b 1888 in Manitoba) and mother in law Selina Cook.
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1901/z/z002/jpg/z000071853.jpg
Lena's marriage to Zachariah McSpadden in 1915 (record on familysearch) says her name is Selina Trewartha, and her parents are William Trewartha and Mary Cook.

marriage for Herbert John TREWARTHA in 1914 has his parents' names: John Ryckman Trewartha and Charlotte Amelia Jervis. The transcription in the other record showed his mother as "CW" but probably just curlicues in the handwriting made the 'A' look like a 'W'.

Abraham and Elizabeth had a total of 6 children, only the 3 girls married, Catherine to John Waters , 1877, Elizabeth Jane to William Chapman pre 1888, and Mary to her 3rd cousin Wiliam Knight Trewartha, in 1902.
the 1911 census was Mary and William Trerwartha, with their adopted son, William and biological son, Not sure who Leonora is, born 1888, William and Mary were not married till 1902.
Have to do some work on that one.
Thanks again for all your help.
