  • Notes 
    • 22 Mar 2001 - Reference page 104 in the Medlam PDF Files. A comparison of the children's birthdays with their date of marriage would lead one to believe that there was a previous unrecorded marriage.

      27 Mar 2001 - Reference pages 153 & 162 in the Medlam PDF Files. They lived in Tyendinga, Ontario.

      28 Mar 2001 - Reference page 162 in the Medlam PDF Files. In 1857 William Fraser began operating a saw and grist mill on the banks of the Moira River north of Belleville. In 1993 it was still a thriving business in it's 136 year of operation. It has now been in the hands of the Chisholm family for five generations.
