Windsor information - Note that I feel Margaret's birthplace is in question. Her family was living in Russell County in 1861 spelled incorrectly on the this census as Winsor:

Strong Winsor Farmer b. Upper Canada 43 married

Death State: Ontario

Gender: Male
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1815
Birth Location: Plantagenet (
Russell Co, Ontario)
Note: there are trees showing him as Benjamin Strong Windsor b. 1 Sep 1814 to Samuel Windsor and Sarah Burch

It appears that Strong's wife, Elizabeth, died sometime between 1861 & 1871 and that Strong is remarried on the 1871 census

here's a tree for the Windsor family:
