Schell/Foster/Piper Family Names

Surnames: Schell/Foster/Piper
I would like to share info with anyone who has a James Schell (1849-19210)and Elizabeth (Eliza)Piper/Foster (1851-1929) in their family tree. James was born in Innisfail Twp., Simcoe County and Eliza in Barrie, Simcoe County. I can't locate a marriage date for these two. There is a mystery surrounding Eliza -- she may have had a 1st husband by the name of James Foster -- but I'm unable to substantiate this and Piper may have been her maiden name -- again I can't prove this. It was thought that her maiden name was Foster, but it seems this may not have been the case. If anyone could shed some light on this I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks,
Louise.

I don't know whether our two families are connected, but I have "Schell" family from Simcoe County too. My family were
originally from Markham, but settled around Sunnidale Twp which I think is fairly close to where your ancestors lived.
Do you have any family from the Sunnidale area?.

Shaun.

If you check Margaret Hornsby extensive genealogy data you will find that your lines are more than likely connected.

Below is the URL for Maggie's main homepage. From there you can click on her links to her various databases including her Schell line she has posted on rootsweb.

I can't contribute much to the update, as Thomas Harvey & Gladys Schell married ca 1935. He was 20 yrs older than she and they had no children
