Help!

The following people are buried in the same grave in Port Perry, Ontario.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140584281/david-horndon-messenger
David Horndon Messenger 1837-1913
Cemetery photo also shows Stuttaford side

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140584158/john-stuttaford
John Stuttaford 1868-1935
Ruth Dowson
Cemetery photo also shows David Horndon Messenger side

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/130109788/bessie-dowson
Jeremiah Dowson 1823–1906 (father of Bessie and Annie Dowson)
Jane Maw Dowson 1830–1910 (mother of Bessie and Annie Dowson)
Bessie Dowson 1851–1927
Annie Dowson 1869–1960

Bessie Dowson (Cassidy) was housekeeper for David Horndon Messenger in Guelph ON.
John Stuttaford m. Ruth Dowson, Bessie’s sister.
Annie Dowson worked for a while as a domestic in the household of John Stuttaford & Ruth Dowson, her sister

I am trying to understand the relationships among these 3 families – Messenger, Stuttaford and Dowson, specifically, why David Messenger was buried in the same grave with Stuttafords and Dowsons.

Any help you can give is appreciated. Many thanks.

Schedule B.- Marriages for Onieda Div. of Haldimand Co. ON record 003278

I would like to locate this marriage record for Andrew Smith (1823-1888) and Alexanderina McKay (1827-1856) electronically or in hard copy.

[Note that Oneida is spelled incorrectly in this reference; it may be spelled correctly or incorrectly in the actual record. I have also seen Alexanderina spelled in various ways.]

Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks. Lynn
