Your welcome Piddington.

Yes, I have Ancestry for Canada.

Do you know when Margaret died?  I found a Margaret who died in 1911 in Twp. of Floss in County of Simcoe, but says born in Scotland?  She was born c1818

George remarried in 1870 to a Mary Copelan of Markham. They sure didn't let to much time go by before finding a new spouse

Mary Copelan was the sister of my gr gr grandfather, Peter Copelan. I've posted what little I have about her and George on my website at   

http://www.copelan.net

If you have any other information about her, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
