Jacquie,
Thanks - that seems to have sorted Rachel's second marriage and the parenthood of the children in the children you found in the 1871 census.
Turning to Nicholas Marks (56 in 1861). He could be a brother of Henry Marks as a Nicholas was baptised in Luxulyan, Cornwall on June 25, 0804. That would make John & Rachel 1st cousins? I can't find Nicholas in the 1841 nor the 1851 Englnd census, so I wonder if he came to Canada ahead of Henry & Loveday?
Have also found the following marriage:
(Dufferin Co.) Daniel Alexander MARK, 23 , farmer, McGillivray Twp, East Luther, s/o Joseph MARK & Annie MARK, married Sarah Matilda HAMMOND, 18, East Luther, same, d/o William HAMMOND & Jane HAMMOND, wtn: George HAMMOND & Christina MARK both of East Luther, on Jan 30 , 1895, at Grand Valley
Alexander and Christiana are shown as children of Joseph Mark & Ann (Annie) in the 1881 Canadian census living in McGillivray.
