Merry Chrsitmas everyone.
Is anbody researching the George Morris family of Matilda?
This Morris family lived close to William Cook (Rachel Shaver McGinn) and John A McGinn, an uncle of my GGF John McGinn raised by William Cook as a stepfather.
I have not found any McGinn children from Rachel Shaver's first marriage to Daniel McGinn in 1824 other than John and Eliza McGinn who were with William Cook in 1842.
However the 1901 census shows GGF John McGinn with a sister Mary Morris and indeed there is a Mary Ann Morris buried in the McGinn plot in Orillia.
She was born about 1826 and died Aug 1905.
