A reply to a long ago mystery. Does anyone remember cousin Lillie, whom we could not pin down?
I suspect that the widow McBride sent her youngest to live with cousins while she and the older kids carved a homestead out of the Ontario forest.
I have just seen her death certificate from 1928 which lists her father Neil McBride and mother Barbara Thompson. They got her age wrong again - birthdate April 15 1856 a whole 5 years after she showed up on the census as 1 month old.
This thread made wonderful reading as a story of cooperative genealogy.
Thanks for the memories.
