Canada / Re: Abraham Collicott,Canterbury,N.B.-Death Records?
« on: Monday 25 December 23 04:14 GMT (UK) »In the 1871 Census, Abraham is newly married (Feb. 1871) and living at home with his wife, parents, and siblings, with father William born in England. While his mother was born in New Brunswick, there is no indication she was indigenous. Their marriage in 1838 gives her maiden name as Estey. Married the same day was a Mary Estey to a George Miller. All in the Catholic records in Fredericton.
The Hulda(h) who marries in 1891 is Abraham's sister, not his daughter as per the marriage record:

1891 Census indicates Dora is a widow. The likely answer is that Abraham's death was never registered, and the tombstone (if any) has not survived.
Hulda was indeed Abraham's daughter,her death certificate states her as such:

Hulda's birth was in 1871,making her much too young to be his sister......
The William she was living with prior to her marriage was her maternal grandfather;why he is listed as her father in the marriage certificate,I don't know. As to Mary (Estey) Miller,she was the younger sister of Abraham's mother Jerusha.
