Donna, this is uncanny. I am also new to the Ferris list and am researching my gg grandmother Amelia Ferris m. Thomas Marshall m. 18 Sept. 1845, in Vittoria, Charlotteville Twp., Norfolk Co., Ontario, Canada. I have nothing more on her English roots, but know a fair bit about her siblings and direct descendants. Most of this was learned from one of Phoebe's descendants (Bill Terry) who still lives in Simcoe, ON. Perhaps we could correspond directly and anyone else on the list interested in this line could contact one of us. Regards, Brian Slough Whitehorse, Yukon Canada -----Original Message----- From: John and Donna Cole [mailto:jcole@computan.on.ca] Subject: [FERRIS-L] FERRIS of Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada Hello fellow List members: I am new to this list and also fairly new to the wonderful world of genealogy. I began researching my family in May of this year. I am researching the family of my gg grandmother Amelia Ferris m. Thomas Marshall m. 18 Sept. 1845, in Vittoria, Charlotteville Twp., Norfolk Co., Ontario, Canada. Amelia Ferris, b. abt. 1824 in England. Daughter of Samuel Ferris and Sophia Unknown. The family emigrated to Norfolk Co., Ont., Canada. Amelia's siblings were: Sarah: m. Matthews? Lucy m. Gambel Ellen m. Church Phoebe m. Terry Ferris is still a surname that is quite prominent in Norfolk Co., however it is not known by me at this time if the various Ferris families of Norfolk are related. If they are , it was perhaps in England. Any information re the family of Amelia Ferris was be gratefully received. Thanks Donna
