Try to find more details on Francis Caverly’s family is going to be a problem. The surname looks like Cavlary or Caveary. On ancestry it was transcribed as Carbary.

I looked briefly at the 1911 census with no luck finding the family survivors since Francis died in 1905. At least they spelled the name Caverly on his grave marker for which I have a photo.

I did find the death record for Forbes, Chas – d 1 Jan. 1905, Wolfe Island, #010677, page 781, County of Frontenac, name of person making return, Mrs. F. Caverly. So Eleanor would be about 32, Andrew 14 and Nellie 12 when Francis Caverly died. Looks like Eleanor’s father died 8 month before her husband’s death so 1905 was a very bad year for her.

I can find Charles Forbes, age 40, in the 1891 census for Wolfe Island.
The marriage record indicates Helen Forbes and her mother as Rebecca Anderson.

I found a Mrs. Eleanor Esford (correct to Forbes) b abt 1877 d 19 Feb.1933 with parents listed as Samuel Forbes and Rebecca Anderson, Informant was a dau, Mrs. Helen Jackson.

Looks like more searching will be needed but the different spellings are a challenge.

Paul Caverly
