I have found what might be a family connection and can't seem to track it at all. Someone has posted a tree showing a Cyrus "Jim" Wells to Margaret McQuarrie. There are more than several Margarets so I just don't know. I do know that a Margaret was born in 1863 to Charles Harvey and Mary (McInnis) McQuarrie in Feversham/Grey Cty. in 1863. There is a single Margaret later in the area on the 1881 census and then nothing. At some later date Jim is with his three children in Michigan. Jim might have been from over in Lenox and Addington Cty which is not close to Grey or Simcoe counties. I have tried searching Margarets on ancestry.ca but can get the US stuff. Any thoughts?????

If you found Jim and the children in Michigan WITHOUT Margaret, you might look for a death record for her . . . That would be the most reasonable reason she would not be with them.

In the census, have you tried Marg't, Margret, and even Mary A instead of Margaret? It was a name enumerators had trouble spelling and transcribers had trouble reading. Grey County (and Huron next door to the west) was settled by a lot of second generation Canadians whose parents were still living on family farms further south and east.
