Caroline Adelaide Brown, died July 18, 1971, Scarborough

[Peggy13]

I found this today and trying to follow it. Looks like parents were Joseph McCleary and Mary Ann Lennox, with their daughter Caroline Adelaide whose married name is Brown. But I don't find any of them on the 1901 or 1911 censii.

Hi,

This looks like Caroline's 1916 marriage to Avery BROWN, her full name was "Adelaide Caroline Madford Bane MCCLEARY".

1911 a widowed Mary A MCCLERY with Caroline.

Can't find them in 1901.

Wow, you are amazing, Daisypetal. No doubt this is the correct family. But where are they hiding in 1901, since Caroline was born 1896.

[Daisypetal]

There are trees online at Ancestry that say Caroline was originally Carrie Mayford BEEN,

and then adopted/taken in by the MCCLEARY family.

Well, that explains a lot, also the many forenames. But still, I don't find Joseph and Mary in 1901 no matter how many ways I spell their names.

I have found the death of a Joseph McCleary, Nov 23, 1900, York Co, merchant, born Ireland abt 1842. If it is him, that means Mary is a widow in 1901 as well.

Here are Joseph and Mary Ann in 1891 in Toronto. No children. He is a wine merchant.

Joseph and Mary Ann in 1881. He is a grocer, age 40. Looks like daughters Eliza and Sarah.

I think I have just linked Mary Ann to a family I was researching a month or so ago. Parents when she married Joseph McCleary in 1872 were Henry and Sarah Lennox. Previously, I was trying to find the maiden name of Sarah who died Dec 14, 1859. Mary Ann's sister Sarah married Edward Henry Boddy Jan 14, 1871 in Trinity Parsonage, Toronto. If we can find Sarah's marriage maybe it has her mother's maiden name on it - not likely, but one can always hope. Or find the death certificate of Elizabeth Duncan, her sister, who died Mar 26, 1900. Now I am getting excited.
Thanks for your help
