If Isabella Luke is with or near David Denham (I have not seen the census) in 1881 Canada then that David would be ours...My source for David's date of birth which I noted had not proven it.  He had a question or alternative date which I am not sure of yet. It would just be too much of a coincidence that a David Denham and Isabella Luke were not related in some way if together in census.

Also the mother in law of our David (Mrs Isabella Luke) had written in her will that her dau had marreid a David Denham who was a carpenter in Detroit.  Will have to look into his parents John and Elizabeth....

If you go to this site, the Ontario Cemetery Index, you will see there is an D.A. Denham and Esther Denham buried in London, Ontario as well as a Isabel Luke.

Hope this link works....it's Esther Denham's death in the newspaper in London.  It notes she is a native of Cold Stream, Scotland and came to first Detroit in 1852 and then London, Ontario
