Joseph and Mary Jane Wilson

RitaBirch513 — 30 May 2008 5:57:54 GMT

I am trying to find information about this family.
In 1911 census they are listed:
Joseph H Wilson
Mary Jane
?Albert Joseph
Gordon Marshall
Annie Retha
Anor Lily Edna
Orville Edward

I don't remember the ages. All of the family is buried at Timmins Memorial Cemetery. Unfortunately, the cemetery hasn't been completely transcribed and put on the internet. My grandfather is Gordon and died in Oregon 1986. Annie, Anor, and Orville died at quite young ages. Annie b. 1905 d. as Annie Craik one year after marrying Syndey Craik, m. 1933, d. 1934 from accidental fall that broke her neck. Anor died in 1929 from food poisoning. Orville died 1914 at age 4 from asthma. I would like information about the oldest son that is mentioned in Mary Jane's will, Albert Joseph Wilson. I don't know what happened to him. He was born around 1900. My grandfather, Gordon was born 1902.
1. Does someone have access to the cemetery records? Can anyone find their burial information?

2. Is there an obituary or funeral home record. Joseph died in 1951 and Mary Jane (nee McCreight) Wilson died in 1966.

Thanks for any help. Rita Birch

Seeking for twin born in Cochrane, ON

Murmurd — 29 Nov 2007 11:41:34 GMT

Female twin born 1940.03.05 at Lady Minto Hospital in Cochrane, ON, CANADA. Mother was told twin died. Other twin a female also. There's a possibility that the twin was given to another couple, although the mother was told the child had died. It is only many years later, that the surviving twin was told about her sister. Family lore has it that the child may have lived & been given to another mother. If you know of anyone born on the above date in Cocharne, ON, please respond. We're eager to get to the bottom of this story. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
