1881 Canadian Census

[J.J.]

and lo and behold....I also found this...but it is submitted by researcher, so accuracy has to be proven...

"Martin Wiedrick"  date of marriage, name of parents....etc...in Germany
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

also says name of spouse, although age doesn't match....nor place in Ont.
So go have a look for your self...and keep for your files just in case...

thankyou 

unfortunately the rootsweb entry has a LOT of strange entries that contradict itself let alone my tree! - but some are indeed linked....it's hard to trust it though...hard job but will have to try and find evidence for each person before entering them!

At the LDS family history site I gave you there are several submissions, in the
Ancestral and the Pedigree Resource File...so if you contact the people  (there
are 3 )who made those submissions, you can ask if they have any documentation,
if it matches with your family tree.

It appears that Jacob is a widow and either his sister or a sister-in -law
has come to help raise children. Being that Martin is on the 1871, and there is
a Martin listed on the LDS site by someone in Toronto Ontario,  I think it imight
be worth looking into? 

Hmmm...Just looked at the rootsweb entry once more and see that they say Rachel was wife?  Odd that 1881 would have put him as "W" .


Any of these yours, then"

There are 3 other files that you could try sifting through for the same person.

Unfortunately, as I have found from my own research, misinformation can be passed on from person to person, I just pick the meat and throw out the bones.  I take what I can find, question mark everything until I've cross referenced with census and or other records.
I have one ancestor where every piece of shared information had the year of birth as 1801, even though there appeared to be a birth record showing 1810 as the year of birth. I just today started to work through the children of this woman's brother using the 1880 US and 1881 Canadian census and found her living with one of the children at age 70, year of birth 1811

I think I read something about entering the wife if she died in the census year, according to the rootsweb info Rachel died in 1881. I'll see if I can find it again

Hmmmm...that is interesting...strange then that it would not
say deceased, or a code of some kind....
