Both my own, who I hope will grow to someday have an interest in their history, and the uncountable generations of children who grew up to have their own children to [...]

When I thought about what I could contribute to the Carnival, it seemed logical [...]

After their marriage in 1848, they lived in Norfolk until they made the decision to move to Canada. They settled in Montreal in 1867 and remained there until their deaths. They are buried in Montreal’s Mount [...]
