It will take me a bit to find which of the zillion tabs I have open for the McEwans.

Will have found it by the time you check back in, Annie!  Have a good break!

Sara, is there any way you can get to Prospect Cemetery (1450 St Clair Ave W,) ?

IF Maggie Smith has a headstone, and IF her birth date is on it (it's not on her death cert. or burial record) we can tell for sure if she was the daughter of Alexander Cameron and Margaret Cant. Otherwise, we are just going in circles.

The cemetery office will need the info from here in order to guide you to the grave (plot number is on the image) :

I can! It's on my list of things I'd like to do.

Probably not until the weekend though.

Thanks for the tip on the grave plot #

I'll have to try and compile all this into another Google Doc for myself to make sense of it all.
 
Thanks for discovering things about my Maggie.

Thinking aloud but...

I'm sure it has been mentioned that Margaret Cant (mother of Maggie) was also illegitimate?

I wonder if Margaret McEwen in 1901 is her mother although I haven't found a marriage yet nor have I checked ages etc. i.e. just posting for ref. meanwhile as I have to go out soon but maybe someone can do the arithmetics for a possible 

I just thought maybe with Alexander being there could it be more than just coincidence?

Scrolling through the birth records book that Daisy appeared in, it appears most babies were still being born at home, so the house address is on the registration.  We have no address other than the name of the hospital.  I looked up the Dr F Fenton that attended her birth, and it turns out he was a high up officer in the Ontario Medical Society, as head for Obstetrics and Diseases of Woman.

How in the world could Maggie afford him?

Sara, can you look for a birth announcement in the Toronto Papers?  I think RunKitty told you how to access them via your library card.

Yes, I'll do this. Interesting discovery!
