Hi, Here are George and Jane Walker on the 1881 census with their son, George, and family. George WALKER JR M Male English 32 Ontario Farmer Church of England Christina WALKER M Female Scottish 25 Ontario Church of England Wiliam J. WALKER Male English 2 Ontario Church of England Annie WALKER Female English <1 Born: <Feb>; 2/12 Ontario Church of England George WALKER SR. M Male English 78 England Farmer Church of England Jane WALKER M Female English 70 England Church of England Charles WALKER Male English 12 Ontario School Church of England Source Information: Census Place Medonte, Simcoe North, Ontario Family History Library Film 1375887 NA Film Number C-13251 District 139 Sub-district L Division 2 Page Number 54 Household Number 233 In the Medonte book, these are the children listed for George and Jane. John Herbert 1831-1917 Susan Jane 1835-1914, married Joseph Matthew Fox 1829-1901 s/oJames and Anne (Susan left Medonte c1871 and married twice more & d. Wisconsin, USA) Mary Caroline 1838-1912 married Joshua Levi Cole Elizabeth Jane 1843-1877 married George George Moon 1832-1913 Margaret 1845-1929 married John Carthew Moon and lived in South OrilliaGeorge 1848-1917 Daniel Walker 1841-1918 Edmund Joseph 1851-1930 In the book, it states that their first child was born in England and the rest in Medonte. I couldn't seem to find George and Jane on the 1861 census transcriptions. I thought maybe the last name had been mis-transcibed so I checked all the Medonte pages for first names and didn't find the family. I did, however, find a possible son, John, b. Canada West, age 28, married, living with the Moon family. His occupation is Labourer and he is listed as a non-family member. In the Medonte book, I read that John married Edith an Kent. There is an Edith Walker, married, age 29, b. England, George b. CW, age 6 and Isabella b. CW, age 2, living with the Hawke Family on the 1861 in Medonte. Says they are family members. There is also a Catherine Hatch, age 14, living with the Hawke family. I think Edith and children are likely the family of John who is with the Moon's. I believe this may be your George Walker on the 1871 index for Medonte.

The informant for the deaths of George and Jane was a George> Walker - my guess is that he was their son, born in Canada. They had 8 > children in all, so lots of research to be done. _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE
