Tony,

Did you see the entry in the 1901 Ontario Census Return (Oxford South, Ingersoll, B-3 Page 8)?

At line 25 there is
WILSON James E., b. July 10, 1872, Ontario, English, CofE
his wife Lucy, b. July 19, 1875, Ontario
daughter Marie T. b. Sept 1, 1896, Ontario, and
CHUMMINGS, Albert, b. July 19, 1875, England. His occupation is Soldier and his relationship is "cousin". He came to Canada in 1893.

By the way, Lucy and Marie T show up in the 1910 census returns for Detroit. Lucy is living alone and is recorded as "divorced".

Tony,

I am a descendant of the Barnum's, through Olive's uncle William Henry (my Great Great Grandfather).

Olive was married twice, the first time to Henry Barber (Sept 22, 1899 in Ontario), but this marriage ended (no idea whether he died, or the marriage broke up) before 1901. In the 1901 census she was living with her parents with a child Joseph H. Barber, b. Jan 30, 1900 (obviously the marriage was a "shotgun" wedding). In the 1911 census for Ingersoll, Olive, Albert and Joseph (Chumming) are living on their own, but no Mary Chummings.

So Joseph H Barber and Joseph H Chummings are one and the same, but he was s/o Henry Barber. There is no record of a Mary Chummings in the Canadian census returns.

I only just now stumbled across this thread.

I have Olive Barnum, b. July 2, 1882, Ingersoll, Ontario, d/o Aaron Barnum and Ada McGowan McKay.

She married
1. Henry Barber Sept 22, 1899 in Middlesex Cnty, Ontario, and
2. Albert Edward Chummings September 21, 1907 Detroit Michigan.

They returned to Ingersoll for a few years, but moved back to Detroit Michigan September 24, 1913. She d. October 13, 1918 from Nephritis (kidney failure?).

Albert re-married Mattie. All three are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Pontiac Michigan.

I have not seen any details on children. If you would be so kind to share I would really appreciate it.
