Trewartha in Canada

[diabak]

Between 1846 and 1851 my g/uncle Abraham Trewartha and his wife Elizabeth nee KNIGHT with a daughter Elizabeth emigrated to Canada. They had 5 children born in Ontario, 1851- 1862.
Apart from 1 child Elizabeth who married Wiliam Chapman, with 1 Chapman son Herbert who was killed in WW1 I have no contact with any of this family.
Would love to find some of my relations.

William K Trewartha, son of Joseph Trewartha and Mary Knight..widower, to
Mary Trewartha, daughter of Abraham Trewartha and Elizabeth Knight. 

Aug 2 1902.  Witness is William H Trewartha.

Looks like there may be other related Trewartha/Knight relatives in Ontario

William Trewartha's first wife was also Mary...in 1901, he is living with wife Mary, daughter Lena (b 1888 in Manitoba) and mother in law Selina Cook.

Lena's marriage to Zachariah McSpadden in 1915 (record on familysearch) says her name is Selina Trewartha, and her parents are William Trewartha and Mary Cook.

William and Mary are 3rd cousins, so I suppose thats ok?   Both in their 40's, Unusual?
