S.J.Hill. This indicates that the father is a farmer from the Gore of Toronto township (Peel county) but it is very unusual that the maiden name of the mother is shown on baptismal record. There were other siblings to the same family in the same register. I have transcription if needed. then I found the following in Marriage Register of St.James Caledon East 1843-1857 (Peel county, Ontario) This is to certify that on the twenty fourth day of May of the year of our Lord eighteen hundred fifty, James Parr, bachelor of the Gore of Toronto, and Mary Ann ADAMS, spinster of the same township entered into the Holy Estate of Matrimony by license. Married by me, J. Dixon, witnesses: John Parr, Elizabeth ADAMS, and signed by Mary Ann ADAMS and James Parr. By the way, Mary Ann had a beautiful signature. By the way, there are other ADAMS in the Gore at the same time since there is a James ADAMS who has children, possibly a brother. According to the Perkins Bull files at the Peel County Archives, James Parr is a son of William and Hannah of Albion, but I don't know if that is true or not, I am looking for corroborating evidence.
