I have Sarah A Cheeney in my tree. She is my 3g grandmother. Here's all the info I have.

She married John Topping on Feb 19, 1854 in Elgin, Ontario. Her parents were Orleanus Cheeney and Lydia Hubbard. Both were born in the US. He was born between 1788 and 1808. She was born between 1803 and 1810. So far I have Sarah's siblings as Rhoda and George Washington Cheeney. George was born in 1828.

My records show that John Topping died in 1917.

With all this I think there is a match.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you so much for the lead. I went down to Ottawa area last weekend, and I stopped off in Elgin at the Elgin United Churh. What a treasure trove of information. I found Sarah Cheney and John Topping's grave stones. There were many Toppings and Cheney's. On her grave stone, it said that she was born in 1939, but I had information from another descendant and they had information that stated she was born in 1936. I also had information that said Lydia's maiden name was Hubbard. I am not sure if Lydia is buried in Elgin also. I found a grave marker next to George Cheaney, but all I could make out was the name Lydia. I would like to get in contact with the gentleman from B.C. for additional information.

Thank you so much for the information. I just returned from the Ottawa area, and I made a small detour to Elgin. What a treasure trove of information. I took a whole roll of film on family grave stones. I found another sibling of Sarah's. His name is William. I do not recall if I found or if I took a picture of William's grave marker or not. If I did, I will send you any information that you may need.
