Hello~ I am interested in locating addition information about Elizabeth SILVERTHORN (b. about 1813 England and d. between 1871-1880) who was probably the mother of Mary GREEN (b. about 1830 in England) and Leurania GREEN (b. September 1835 in Toronto Township). I have theorized that Elizabeth first married a GREEN in England and then married a SILVERTHORN in Peel. Unfortunately, I do not know Elizabeth's maiden name. I have not been able to find Elizabeth Silverthorn in the 1851 census. However, she appears in the 1861 Census in Brampton Village, Peel, boarding with a merchant who is unrelated to her. In the 1871 census, Elizabeth (age 70) is living with Leurania (mistakenly listed as Lorenna) Green Stoddart's family in Amaranth Township in Wellington County. According to the census record, Elizabeth was born in England, was a Methodist (P Meth.), and was widowed. A history of a local land deed provides a bit more information: Abstract of Deeds, Amaranth Township West Half Lot 19 Concession One Mortgage January 1865 to Elizabeth Silverthorn Bill of Sale November 1868 Elizabeth Silverthorn, widow, to Joseph Stoddart [Stoddart was Leurania Green's husband] D of Mortgage March 1880 Leurania G. Stoddart administratrix of the will of E. Silverthorn, to Joseph Stoddart Grant April 1881 Joseph Stoddart to Philip J. Stoddart [Philip was the grandson of Elizabeth Silverthorn] Mortgage May 1892 Leurania G. Stoddart, administratrix of the real and personal estate of the late Joseph Stoddart, to Thomas Rampage Deed January 1901 Philip J. Stoddart, administrator, Leurania Stoddart, widow, administrix of estate of Joseph Stoddart, to Robert Heggiev The following tax documents provide a few more clues regarding possible husbands of Elizabeth: Chinguacousy 1843 Assessment Roll West of Huron Street Silverthorn, David - Con 4, Lots 18 and 20 Silverthorn, Mahlone - Con 4, Lots 18 and 20 Chinguacousy Township Collectors Roll 1855 Silverthorn, Mahlow - Con 4 West, Lot 18 Stoddart, Joseph - Con 2 West, Lot 8 !!!!!!Cry for help!!!!!!
