Yep.

I just found the county Long Point is in...Norfolk.

But.................looking at the PR again, it says she died in Montreal. I'm not too bothered about that, because the Cemetery record says:

Annie Paterson
Born in Scotland
Died: May 21st, 1896
Age 44 Years Old
Place of Death: Long Point Home, Ontario
Last Residence: Long Point Home, Ontario

So, it's fairly clear that she died in Ontario.

Here's the problem: Long Point is a very long way from Montreal. The last time I drove from Montral to Toronto, it was five hours at the speed limit of 100kph (okay, maaaybe just a little bit over ;D).

Long Point is a good hour beyond that.  At 100kph.

But the PR says she was buried the day after she died...on May 22, 1896.

Something's off, but I don't know if I should worry about it.

But as I'm getting nowhere, I suppose it's moot :(
