Dear Nathalie,
Did anyone ever get a hold of you about Delihla?? Well, it just so happens that she is connected to my KETCH/KEETCH family tree.
Here is the information I have on her:
Delila M. KETCH (b. 19 Jul 1878 in New Brunswick, Canada; d. 27 Aug 1934). Now.. from Faye Keetch, she says the birthday is actually the 19th of July 1879, the 1878 date I have is from the 1901 Census, Parish of Wilmot, Carleton County, NB. Viewable here:

So if you have, say, a copy of her birth certificate, or marriage certificate with perhaps a birthday listed, or maybe a death certificate? It may (or may not) clear up the birthday conundrum.
Anyways.. Delila married a Jordan PROSSER (b. 22 Sep 1875 in New Brunswick, Canada). I do not know when or where they were wed.
I only have two children listed, at this time, for Delila and Jordan: Lulu (b. 29 Apr 1898 in NB, Canada) and Geneva Hattie (b. 27 Nov 1902 in Charleston, Carleton Co., NB).
I would love to learn more about them, the other siblings, descendants, etc. Anything you'd be willing to share. I'm also interested in finding out who Jordan's parents and grandparents are, if you know, since there are other KETCH/KEETCH branches that married the PROSSER family and I'm curious how/if they might be connected.
Delila's parents were George Leonard KETCH (b.25 Jan 1835 in New Brunswick, d. 25 Jan 1918) and Susan Alma DRAKE (b. 16 Apr 1841 in Waterville, NB, d. 31 Jul 1922).
Delila was one of 11 children. George was the son of Thomas M. KETCH and Melinda ROCKWELL. Susan DRAKE's parents were Warren B. DRAKE and Mary "Polly" ROCKWELL.
I have further information. Please contact me and let me know, either on the message board, or via email, if this all seems to connect and jive with your information.
Sincerely,
Melissa Kluey
