I have been tracing this family as Jenny's sister, Sarah Martha Brown m. Edwin Henry Norton in Hamilton and I am tracing that line. I have marriage, birth and death info for Alfred, Jenny and their children Frank Henry and May Violet Chesher. Alfred Chesher, s. of Wm. John and Emma Chesher, was a machinist, b. England (no location) was 27 when he married Jane Brown, dt. of Joseph and Elizabeth (Weldon) Brown in Darlington,Ontario (Marriage date: 1 Sept 1877 by Rev. Edward Barass. Both were of Disciples faith (type of Baptist?) They had two children, Frank Henry. b. 11 July 1878 in Oshawa, Ontario and May Violet, b. 31 July 1880 also in Oshawa, Ontario. They moved to Brampton, Ontario, just west of Toronto. On 8 April 1882, Jane Chesher - at age 22 y. 3 mos. died in childbirth in Brampton, Peel County, Ontario Alfred Chesher married again - to Kate Earngy (spelling on Marriage Cert. in Brampton on 30 June 1885. Kate was born in Chinguacoucy, Peel County and her parents were Joseph and Mary Earngy. Both were Baptist and 27 years old. The Cheshers and Earngeys are listed on the 1881 Census (check www.familysearch.org) There was a son Delbert b. 12 June 1886 and then Reginald b. 10 Oct. 1887. I haven't checked for the girls. But from news announcement of a wedding - not dated - I have to recheck the Toronto Star - Gladys Mary married Gordon Albert Carl of Toronto. If you have any Brown information or info on Frank or May Violet Chesher, I would be pleased to receive it. Helen
