Death certificate Sarah Brown, June4,1889, Arnot, Tioga, Pa

[Peggy13]

I do have Sarah’s birth in Scotland, from Scotland’s People. Parents Andrew Lennox and Sarah Ewing. I would like some proof that it is indeed Andrew’s daughter that married Robert H. Brown although all indications are that this is the case. There were other Sarah Lennoxes married in Toronto in 1871, such as the one that married Edw. Boddy. Thanks everyone for your excellent suggestions.

Have you contacted Lloydminster Archives to get the obituary for father Andrew Lennox who died 1914 (aged 99 years) to see what information it contains........ ?

The obit for Mary Jane Lennox LaHaye says she immigrated at the age of 5 years, so 1863.
The family should show on the 1871 Canadian Census (with Sarah) Have you found that census ?

Do the family appear on the 1861 Scotland census ?

Hi Sandra,
I was sent the obit for Andrew Lennox from 1914 but the only relative mentioned is his daughter Mary Jane LaHaye. That makes sense as my records indicate that his wife and children are all deceased including Sarah Jane. By quite the coincidence, his daughter Esther married a Robert Brown in Scotland in 1870 and died there. Not sure why she didn't travel with the rest of the family unless she went back.
As for the 1871 Canadian census, Andrew is in the index but the record can't seem to be found. I do have the 1861 Scotland census and his daughter Sarah is on it. But what I am wanting is proof that it is HIS daughter Sarah that married Robert H. Brown in 1871. I really think it is but....

Well, I just found Andrew on the 1871 Canadian census. Age 48, wife Sarah 52, with Henry 16, Sarah 14, and Mary Jane 11. Andrew's age is almost correct but not the others.

I now have Mary Jane LaHaye's nee Lennox' second marriage to John Joseph McClellan in 1889 in Owen Sound.

In May 1889, Sarah is taken to the Williamsport Hospital with cerebrospinal meningitis. This appears in theThe Wellsboro Gazette; Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, newspapers.com, 21 May 1889, p 3.. I wonder if that newspaper might publish an obituary.

I have been looking for the death of Robert's first wife Wilhelmina Zinck of Germany to narrow down the marriage date to Sarah Lennox. Their youngest daughter Anna was born Mar 3, 1866.

Well, I found Sarah's death notice in Wellsboro Gazette of June 20, 1889 for all the good it did. One sentence - At Arnot, PA, June 4, 1889, Mrs. Robert H. Brown, age 34 years.
