Ontario Marriage/Death Record Lookup Please COMPLETED THANK YOU
« on: Tuesday 04 July 06 00:44 BST (UK) »
Ancestry.com have a record which I can't access in York, Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1857-1922:

Margery Eve DANIELS m. John OFFORD. Mother: Eily Long DANIELS, Father:
Esevirt [should be Estcourt] Buxton DANIELS. John's parents:  McFarlane Offord,  Robert Offord

There is also a death record in York, Ontario, Canada Deaths, 1869-1932 for a John OFFORD in 1927. Could someone please look that up too. I don't know if this is the same person. ** I now have this death info - thanks to a kind Rootschatter.**

I haven't found Margery's death yet, she was b. 1886 London England. I have no other info about John Offord.

Hope someone can help.

Hello

Bridegroom: John Offord
Age: 50 years
Residence: 85 Shuter St, Toronto
Place of birth: Canada
Occupation: Salesman
Religion: Baptist
father: Richard Offord
Mother: McFarlane


Bride: Margery Eve Daniel
Age: 32 years
Residence: 2094 Queen St E, Toronto, Ontario
Place of birth: England
Religion: English Church
father: Escourt Beaton Daniel
mother: Lily Long

Marriage place: Toronto

Date: May 9, 1919

I would think that if you emailed the Stratford Library they may have a copy of the obit (microfilm newspapers) or a cemetery index, also they should have city directories or voters lists that may help you see if she stayed there, perhaps married, etc.

Hi

I noticed this in an obit index and thought the names were very interesting (Margery Eve and Marjorie Eva). Obviously Marjorie Eva Offord Macdonald is too young to be your Margery Eve but perhaps she was named after her



Globe and Mail
November 21, 2005
Toronto, Ontario

MACDONALD, Marjorie Eva - Peacefully at St. Vincent De Paul Hospital, Brockville, on Saturday November 19, 2005. Marjorie Offord, beloved wife of the late Paul MacDonald. Fondly remembered by sister-in-laws Marcie Beaubien and Mary Dunphy. Also survived by several nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends on Monday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. John The Evangelist Church on Tuesday, November 22, at 11:00 a.m. Rite of Commital, St. John's Cemetery. Donations in Marjories memory may be made to the Gananoque Humane Society or to the St. John's Restoration Fund. Online condolences at www. tompkinsfuneralhome.ca In care of Tompkins Funeral Home 63 Garden' Street Gananoque 382-3088

Perhaps if you emailed the funeral home they may pass along a brief note from you to the family to see if there is any family connection?

This message is for Minn......trying to find you in this forum.  Margery Eve Offord was my grandmother. We called her "nanna".  Her son was Edward Richard and they are both buried in a town called Thornbury in Ontario, Canada. Her daughter Doreen is still living.
Margery was born in 1887 & died in 1970.
Edward Richard was born 1922 and died in a car accident 1960.
My brother, Richard Edward lives in Thornbury and has just retired. 
We know that our nanna's husband's name was John and he died sick at a very young age.
I hope this helps if this is the Margery Eve Offord you are seeking.  Margery was born in England.  Ancestors were keepers of the King's hounds.
