No unfortunately they are not the same Morris. My ggggrandfather never left Ontario. His headstone we are 80%postive is wrong. He is buried in Old st mary's cemetery in Odessa and his death date says 1906. other sources say he died in 1896, his wife Johanna Connors. There are no names of Blackhurst in my line.
There is also a Morris Haley who died in 1901 Loughborough who was a blacksmith. He traveled in the same areas also.
