Classification: Query
Surnames: RILEY, OREILLY, FLETCHER, KELSO
William Henry O'Reilly (son of Patrick and Rhody OREILLY born Brandy Creek Ontario approx 1863 married on Nov 26, 1884 and Nov 26 1885 to Sarah Catherine Fletcher (born Windham Ontario on March 14, 1857 (daughter of Mary Ann KELSO and James Fletcher)and resided in Norfolk County Ontario. Sometime before Sept 1885 the "O" was dropped and spelling of Reilly changed to RILEY. 2 children were born of this union: Austin RILEY Sept 29, 1885 and Minnie Beatrice RILEY Sept 17, 1889. The 1891 Census for North Norfolk shows Sarah and children but no William Henry RILEY. We can not find a death registration for him and the family history is that he left the family. Where did he go?? Also why two marriage registrations exactly one year apart to the day??? Sarah passed away Jan 3, 1895 and children were raised by relatives.
