Hello

here is Mathew's marriage
5396-73 Mathew FANCEY, 44, widower, laborer, Dorset England, Georgetown, s/o Mathew & Jane, married Mary WATLING, 32, Guelph, Georgetown, d/o William & Mary, witn: Edmund LU--? & Elizabeth LUMLEY, both of Georgetown, 25 May 1873 at Georgetown



this may be some of the family in later years in Canada

       58 Fancy Mary F   Head W Jan 19 1841 60
44   58 Fancy John M   Son S Mar 23 1876 25
Source Information: 1901 Census of Canada
Subdistrict: Emerson (Town/Ville), PROVENCHER, MANITOBA
District Number: 10
Subdistrict Number: b-2
Archives Microfilm: T-6434

This could be the deaths of two of the children listed in the 1881 Canadian Census. Both these deaths are in Manitoba where both Mary and John are in the 1901 census

go to this site and look for district b-2 and then page 6 lines 43 and 44 - that is John and his mother Mary Fancy (sorry about the long URL)
