It is with sadness and a personal sense of loss that I advise of the passing of Muriel M. Davidson, my Co-chair on the Canada Census Committee. I never met Muriel face-to-face, however during the eight year course of our campaign to regain public access to historic Census records we had grown close through our frequent telephone calls and email messages. Muriel was a tireless worker on our Census campaign but even in the busiest periods of that effort she still found time to assist others in their search for their personal ancestry. Following our successful campaign Muriel continued working to coordinate efforts to index the newly released Census records through www.automatedgenealogy.com . In addition to working on the Census campaign and indexing projects, throughout her lifetime Muriel volunteered her services to others in various ways, some of which are detailed in her obituary below. Muriel died peacefully, with family members at her bedside, some time before 1:00 am Tuesday 10 June 2008. Those wishing to send cards to express their personal condolences may send them to Family of Muriel M. Davidson 25 Crestview Avenue Brampton, Ontario, L6W 2R8 Emails may be sent to her daughter, Lynden Cowan at lynden@lyndencowan.com . Rest in Peace Muriel. You will not be forgotten. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, British Columbia Permission to forward without notice is granted. **************************** October 22, 1924 - June 10, 2008 Davidson. Muriel Marguerite (nee Farquhar) It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Muriel, on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at the Brampton Civic Hospital at the age of 83 years. Born on October 22, 1924, daughter of the late Gordon and Helen (Adams) Farquhar, of Summerville Beach, Nova Scotia. Beloved wife of the late William "Bill" Davidson of 60 years. Muriel's memory will be cherished by her children Don, Lynden (Michael) Cowan and Randy (Charlene) Davidson. Step-mother of Laurie (Lorna), Geneva Dean, Marie (Jack) Malloy and Dennis Davidson. Grandmother to Diane Davidson, Amy (Thomas) Ransom, Michelle Cowan, Robert Cowan. She is survived by brothers Eugene (Geraldine) Farquhar, Ron ( late Joan) Farquhar and numerous relatives in Nova Scotia and Ontario. Predeceased by brothers Clyde (surviving wife Ruth) Farquhar and Don (surviving wife Alma) Farquhar. Muriel was a member of Floral Rebekah Lodge #369 (I.O.O.F.) and also a member of Beaux-Art Brampton. Over the years, she was involved in Boy Scouts,contributor to numerous newspapers, coordinator of the Obstetrical knitting program at Peel Memorial. Muriel was very involved in geneology research, first for family and then worldwide assistance, including publications. She was instrumental as the head of the Canadian Census Committee in getting the Canadian Government to release the 1911 Census (allowing the release of family information for future generations). This earned her an awarding of an Order of Canada Year of Volunteers award presented by Senator Lorna Milne. Visitation for family and friends will be at the Scott Funeral Home "Brampton Chapel", 289 Main Street North, Brampton (905-451-1100) on Thursday, June 12, 2008 from 2 - 4 & 7 - 9 p.m. with a Rebekah Lodge #369 Service at 6:30 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the Scott Funeral Home Chapel on Friday, June 13, 2008 at 11 a.m. Interment Brampton Cemetery.

Carolyn thank you very much. I will have to check out that book. Marjorie McFarlane was actually the daughter of Frank E McFarlane and Violet McClure Hammond. That does clear up the parentage of Thomas though. Thanks again.

Good morning All. This morning I have been advised by the family of Muriel M. Davidson, my Co-chair of the Canada Census Committee, that her medical situation has deteriorated to the point where she is not expected to recover. While undergoing surgery to remove gallstones they discovered cancer surrounding the gallbladder and extending to the liver and abdominal wall. Muriels kidneys have shut down and she may only have hours left to her. Her family is gathering at her bedside as I write this message. At this time I am certain that many of you will wish to include Muriel and her family in your thoughts and prayers, as they are in mine. I will keep you posted regarding any change in Muriels situation. Gordon A.

Hello fellow listers, I am new to this list but not to other lists. I am trying to help a friend in Ireland locate information on the following lady. If anyone is planning a trip to the archives or library could they please lookup the following death for any further details. I believe she died in Moncton but being from Toronto and previously Ireland I doubt there would be anything in a local paper. I am not sure if a will would be involved either.

Grace. I fear the story that Mary was a d/o John Toler, 1st Earl of Norbury, is very unlikely as Lord John was created 1st Earl in 1824; well after the events generally described took place. John is considered a brother of Toler/Tolar Thompson, and the similarity in names seems to have given rise to some extravagant speculation. Either that or someone was having a bit of a joke.
