I thank you very much for looking up information on Thomas Willis. I read through the whole article you sent, but could not find any reference to his death in 1860.

Canada Lookup Request / Thomas Willis Ireland to Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
« on: Sunday 13 February 22 15:35 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for any information on Thomas Willis who was born in Ireland (possibly Wexford) in or about 1776. He arrived in Lanark County (Morphy's Falls) in about 1820. He did marry but I do not know the name of his wife. He did have at least one daughter Mary Elizabeth Willis who married John Hugh David Morphy, and at least 3 sons (do not know names). I do not know when he died or where he is buried. Thank you in advance for any information you might provide to me.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Catin or Caton Willis in Ramsay, Ontario
« on: Monday 07 February 22 15:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I am still researching Caton Willis. I understand that I can look up land records for him in Ramsay, Ontario on Familysearch. I am hoping that someone might be able to help me obtain the records. He settled as a young man on Concession 8, Lot 2W, Ramsay, Ontario, Canada when the township opened. Thank you in advance.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: John Bond and Jane Grey in York Township Cause of death

Thank you so much for your attempts to find answers for me. It is very much appreciated. I have been in contact with cabanbequia and the death dates are a mystery to her too. All we have is a photo of a headstone which lists the death dates. Happy New Year.

Canada Lookup Request / John Bond and Jane Grey in York Township Cause of death
« on: Tuesday 05 January 21 20:13 GMT (UK) »
John Bond, son of Robert Bond and Mary Palmer, was born about 1814 in Suffolk, England. John's parents emigrated to Canada in 1826 and purchased 100 acres on the western half of Lot 8, Concession 3 east of Yonge Street in York. In about 1842 John married Jane Gray born about 1818 in London, England to unknown parents. It would appear that both John and Jane died on the same day on August 14, 1846 and are buried in the York Mills Baptist Cemetery. There death on the same day leads me to an accident of some sort. Any information you could possibly share with me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Samuel Martin & Elizabeth Reid in Wexford, Ontario 1800s
« on: Sunday 15 November 20 18:31 GMT (UK) »
Yes there were 2 Samuel Martins with Reid wives in the area and that is the confusion. Their farms also abutted each other. One Samuel Martin b. 1830 in Ontario was married to Elizabeth Reid. The other Samuel Martin was born about 1826 in Ireland and he was married to Rachel Reid. The witnesses to the latter marriage was a John Reid and Elizabeth Reid. I do believe that Elizabeth and Rachel were possibly sisters. It is the 2 Samuel Martins that have me puzzled.

Thank you so much for the information you have given me. :)I tend to agree with you that this Samuel Reid and wife, Sarah, might be the parents of Elizabeth Reid. Is there a 1851 census for this family in which a John or Rachel are mentioned in the household as other children? Are there any documents that give the name of Samuel Reid's parents?
