'Black' and 'Gushler / Gieschler' family, Ontario

[flennerz]

Hi there

Have hit a brick wall with the following; hoping for any assistance that's out there!

John Black b. Cavan, Ireland 1 Jan 1874 arrived 1880, married Margaret (Maggie) Gushler/Giescher/Gieschler/Geischler (!) on 9 Jul 1897 in Oxford, Ontario.
She was born 2 Nov 1867 in East Zorra Township, to Henry Gieschler and Anna Maria Gerhardt.

Children:
Isabella Barbara Black b. 27 Dec 1897 in London, Ontario
Clarence B Black b. 1 Jan 1900 in Middx. Ont.
Frederick John Black b. 23 Mar 1903 in Middx. Ont.

Last record of them all together is via the Automated Genealogy site - 1911 Census has them living in Strathroy, Ont.
Clarence enlisted in the CEF as a driver - despite being 15! - in 135 Batt.
Trail has run cold! Can't get anywhere! Any ideas? Cheers....Matt

Not sure if this sort of thing is what you are after exactly but it's a start and I will scout around to see what else I can find 

1901 Canadian Census

John Black 27 Gardener b. 1 Jan 1874, Ireland (wow, your lucky to get all the birth dates on the census)
Margaret Black 33 b 2 Nov 87, (interesting, she put Ontario) but her race is German
Isabella Black 3 b 27 Dec 1897, Ontario
Clarence Black 11 months b. 1 May 1900, Ontario

still living in Strathroy

also using that surname lots more to find here http://search.labs.familysearch.org
sample of what's available in there:
Valentine Gischler  Male
Birth 22 Apr 1902 East Zorra, Oxford, Ontario, Canada
Henry V. Gischler / Matilda Hohner
Canada Births and Baptisms, 1661-1959

(http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~maryc/oxford01p2.htm has marriage of John Metz & t Barbara)
William Henry Metz
Birth 05 May 1904 South Easthope Township, Perth, Ontario
John Metz & Barbara Gischler
 

* Lots of Kunigunda Geisler in the U.S. so that might be proper spelling? Apparently named derived from:  Kunigunda was a German saint, the wife of Heinrich, the last king of the royal house of Saxony, also a saint.
