I am researching the family of James Harry Lennox and Euphemia Pearson (Effie). They were married in Caistor To. in 1889. Effie was born there about 1865. James was born in Flos To. about 1864, son of Thomas and Jane. There are three children recorded for James and Effie: Norman Wesley (1890), Olive Jane(!894), and Andrew Thomas (1897). Norman may have died-I can't locate him. Olive is living with her father in 1901 and 1911. She married Frederick Burton in 1919 in Hamilton. The family seems to be in Saskatchewan in 1906. There was a Mrs. James Lennox killed in a train accident in 1900 along with her father-in-law and sister-in-law. Does anyone have any information about this accident or the family? Or suggestions about where to search? Andrew seems to have been known as Stanley in the census and attestation papers. Regards, Virginia

The Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal Register (Vol. 2, pg. 213) shows him as follows: James Henry LENNOX, b: 01 Oct 1863 in Essa, bap: 28 March 1864 in Essa. Other listed WMBR children of this couple were born in Flos Twp. as follows: David John: 14 Nov 1871 Flos, 11 Feb 1872 Flos (4/40) Charles Andrew: 9 Jan'y 1874 Flos, 6 May 1874 Flos (3/133) Richard Arthur: 15 Sep 78 Flos, 30 Apr 80 Oro (4/253) Albert Edward: 31 Jan'y 1880 Flos, 30 Apr 1880 Oro (4/253) Family doesn't appear in Simcoe Co. on the 1861 census transcription. In 1871, there are two possible heads of households: C-9961, Essa Twp., Thomas W. LENNOX, 32, Ont., WesMeth, Irish, farmer (F-3, pg. 37); C-9963, Flos Twp., Thomas LENNOX, 30, Ire., WesMeth, Irish, farmer (F, pg. 23). 1881 shows no LENNOX in Flos. In Essa, the following: C-13250: F-2, pg. 81: LENNOX: Thomas W., Irish, 42, Ont., fmr, CdnMeth + Jane Maria, Iri., 41, Ont., CM |__ George Luther, 15, Ont. |__ James Adison, 13 |__ Annie, 11 |__ Maria E., 10 |__ Joseph Henry, 8 |__ Minnie Matilda, 6 Notably, with the exception of James, none of the kiddies in the above household match with any of the WMBR baptisms. This James has a different middle name, so is seemingly not the same child shown on the WMBR. In Innisfil 1881, I found the following: C-13250: H-1, pg. 21: LENNOX Jane, 50, Ire., CdnMeth, Irish, Widow |__ James, 26, Ont., labourer, C-of-E |__ Andrew, 24 |__ Henry, 22 |__ William John, 18 The above James would have been born abt 1854, none of his siblings' names or dates match with the WMBR crowd. This apparently isn't the right family. In Flos, the correct family appears as follows: C-13251: G-1, pg. 20: LINNIX: Thomas, Irish, 41, Ireland, farmer, CdnMeth + Jane, Iri., 38, Ont., CM |__ James, 17 |__ Margaret, 16 |__ Mary, 14 |__ William, 11 |__ David, 9 |__ Charles, 7 |__ Richard, 3 |__ Edward, 1 The 1891 census index shows same family in Flos Twp. T-6368, Flos, D-2, pg. 37: LENNOX: Thomas 1843 + Jane 1846 --> Margaret 1867, Mary Ann 1869, William 1871, David 1873, Charles 1875, Richard 1878, Albert 1880, Harriet 1882, Robert 1885, George 1888. These names and dates do agree with WMBR (although all dates are apparently shifted by at least one year). The same family is in Flos in 1901: T-6496: D-3, pg. 03: LENNOX: Jane, 1 Apr 1834 (57 yrs), widow |__ Margaret, 18 Nov 1868 (33) |__ William T., 8 July 1870 (31) |__ David J., 18 Nov 1872 (29), (WMBR: 14 Nov 71) |__ Charles, 17 Jan'y 1876 (25), (9 Jan'y 74) |__ Richard A., 15 Sept 1879 (22), (15 Sept 78) |__ Albert E., 28 Jan'y 1881 (20), (31 Jan'y 80) |__ Robert, 28 June 1885 (16) |__ George, 28 Oct 1888 (13) next household: |__ James H., 31 Oct 1864 (36) widower (01 Oct. 63) |__ Olive J., 7 Apr 1895 (6) Enumerator evidently had difficulty with simple arithmetic, and has extrapolated all dates to reflect birth years at least one year later than they actually occurred (as evidenced by WMBR). >From my database, I show Thomas to have died 20 Dec 1900, in Flos Twp. His wife was Jane GAULEY, d/o David GAULEY (1800 s/o Thomas GAULEY + Mary ARNOLD) + Jane JAMIESON (d/o Andrew JAMIESON + Mary Jane McFADDEN). I've no information on the ancestry of Thomas.

Virginia; I have lots of info on the LENNOXes. Yes, Norman did die in December 1891. He was born in Jan 1891 in Crossland. My mother often about the train accident and how he tried to beat the train in his buggy. My greatgreat grandmother was a LENNOX and came to Canada in 1849 with relatives and settled in Ivy, Essa Township.
